[SOLVED] problem with rejecting ssh on weekends with iptables
So I am trying to block any SSH connection attempts on Saturdays and Sundays to be rejected.
This is the command i have come up with.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -o eth0 -i virbr0 -days Sat,Sun -j REJECT
I have also tried many different ways to do this but nothing is working, I am always getting Bad Argument: 'Sat,Sun' error, also when i try to use --days it says it doesnt recognize it. If anyone could let me know what I am doing wrong that would be great. Thanks.

From iptables man pages :
[!] --weekdays day[,day...]
Only match on the given weekdays. Possible values are Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, or values from 1 to 7, respectively. You may also use two-character variants (Mo, Tu, etc.).
EXAMPLES. To match on weekends, use:
-m time --weekdays Sa,Su
0 + 1 = 1 != 2 <> 3 != 4 ...
Until the camel can pass though the eye of the needle.
