This one is easy.  Take a look at the FAQ section of the Condor Manual, 
specifically the FAQ "How do I configure Codnor to only run jobs at 
night?", online at

Also easy, and the example included in the manual shows how to do 
that...  just take a peek at the URL i gave above...

Ouch.  Holidays could be a little more tricky.  What would be sweet is 
if Condor's ClassAds implementation had a function to convert the epoch 
time [e.g. output from time()] into a month/day/year representation, 
like formatTime() as specified in the ClassAd Language reference.  But 
alas, formatTime() is not implemented.  I will add that to the wish 
list.  In the meantime, anyone else have a good idea for how to handle 
holidays in a Condor scheduling policy?
