Allows you to suspend (or enable) any operation for any period of time during a given day. Simply feed it a time frame (6:00AM to 7:00AM, for example). CF_Blackout will determine if the current time falls within the blackout period and return a variable telling you the result, which you can then use as needed. Does its work without loops or other memory-intensive operations. Originally developed for use with CF_SitePeeker, I felt the code behind it can have any number of uses, so its presented here in standalone form.

While designed to black out repetitive time periods on a daily basis, with very little effort CF_Blackout can be modified to work with timespans covering much longer durations since it uses ColdFusion's DateCompare function to do its core work.
