The HTCondor Manual has a section under "condor_startd policy 
configuration" that is called "Examples of Policy Configuration".  See 
URL https://is.gd/yjxTw1

The examples in this section include a "Time of Day Policy"  which you 
may find helpful.  Or if you don't find it helpful, please make some 
suggestions on how we could improve that part of the manual for the next 
person. :)

thanks and regards,
Todd
