[c-nsp] Shutting down a switch port automatically after a specific time

[Arun Vijay]

Thanks for the reply Jon.

But we dont have rancid.

Not sure whether we can bind the time based ACL with Macros such that once
the time based ACL parameters are met for the mentioned time,it takes the
macro parameters to shut down the port..

Also i havent tried or else can say that i am not good in scripting....So
if any one can help me with getting sample scripts for shutting port a port
after a specific time,it will be helpful.

Thanks
Arun.
