@chris.dees I started to create a POC document of what you might be looking for in this tutorial. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9449/dynamic-fog-replicator-transfer-rates The mechanics of the script work on my test system.
The idea is to create the ability to change the transfer (bit) rates used by the replicator service based on the time of day. While this isn’t exactly what you want the same concepts can be applied to start and stop the replicator service based on time of day.
The follow commands to stop and start the replicator service.
On a sysv based system
service FOGImageReplicator stop
service FOGImageReplicator start
Or on a systemd based system
systemctl stop FOGImageReplicator.service
systemctl start FOGImageReplicator.service
