I asked about Mike de Laine's post,

He explained:
| What I want to achieve is
| send the message onto the pager if the hours are "normal" otherwise, defer
| delivery to the pager until the hours become normal.
Ah, thanks. Whole other ball of wax.

| timeframe is inappropriate.
Yes, that's the best I can think of: spool untimely pages to a folder, and
when paging hours begin (or a minute or two thereafter in case a page that
arrived too soon is on its way into the folder) have a cron job split the
folder, forward the pages, and then delete them.
