There is no way to avoid having one line per weekday in the config, but that
doesn't mean that you have to write the definitions out by hand :-) A quick
shellscript to echo each weekday with an argument and you should be good to
go. Here you go:
#!/bin/sh
echo "sunday $1"
echo "monday $1"
echo "tuesday $1"
echo "wednesday $1"
echo "thursday $1"
echo "friday $1"
echo "saturday $1"
Add the above to a dir in your path, then when you need to add a timeperiod
definition you can use ":r ! timeperiod.sh 04:00-21:00" in vi, or something
similar in your editor of choice.
