How to Limit when users can access a web page from certain times?

[ninoj]

I wanted to limit when a client can view a certain webpage only during the hours of 12pm to 2pm. Is there any way I can achieve this by using cpanel? Can anyone llep me on this?

There's no such feature in cPanel. You might be able to use some client side scripting like javascript or server side using a perl CGI or php script, but either are not within the scope of this forum.

IS it possible for me to run a cron job that limits access to the file for a certain time?

Hi,
I guess you could run a script (via cron) at 12 along the lines of
#!/bin/bash
chmod -R *chmodvalue* /home/thisuser/public_html/*

then at 2

chmod -R *chmodvalue* /home/thisusr/public_html/*

Hope that might help...
also just to warn you... doing this.. can get messy.

You can setup a cron job to simply stick an .htaccess file where you want to deny access Deny From All.

You could also setup two httpd.conf files and simply have them swap out and auto restart apache.
