auto run script to bring port down at certain time/

[rnbhatija]

trying to find a way to automatically bring a port down at certain time of the day and then bring it back up at a different time.

basically we want to disconnect a phone (cisco 7940) at end of business day and reconnect in the am. 

any ways to do this thru script or a functionality built into cisco os?

edit: switch 2960x

This might be doable with EEM scripting.  Note - there's an EEM scripting forum, where you might find help.

Does the port really need to be taken down, or would blocking its operation at night suffice?  If the latter, a timed based ACL might be used.
