Perhaps you could run a launchd or cron that touches/deletes a file on
the specified times and then modify the art script to look for the
file. So, art only returns 1 during specified times on those minis.
Or, you could write the time limits right into the art script itself,
provided you have some way to identify the minis.

We have approx. 30 mac minis in the classroom and will likely reach
70 by 2010. Our Xserve stack will be running 24/7 (fiber connection
to SAN), but we are considering using our mac mini classroom
encoders (NFS mount) as well at night. I tested an encode over our
network, and the performance is lousy but good enough. Beyond
scheduling Podcast Producer to run jobs at a specific time, is there
a way to configure an agent to accept jobs only during specific hours?
