The start/end times are preset (of course configurable). It is not that a specific function/app should run at the preset time. It's a parameter set to restrict at what times of the day, any day, a function can be run - and there are many different functions. (This one is an extraction that should only be run during the non-busy hours, i.e. at night). As for timestamp, yes, I can get the exact date and time of the current time. But the issue is how do I check that that time is within the preset start/end time? Remember the start/end time are not limited to a date.

A timestamp will have all these details and you can extract the relevant details from it. I.e. datetime has both date and time. You can use the time or date where relevant. This is the essence of a timestamp.

@Lawi, does the start times change per day or are they sorta fixed at a preset time?
Say, every day at 0600Hrs is the start, and every day at 1800Hrs is the end
