I would simply put mksysb in a "wrapper" shell script say called do_backup.
Now, do_backup checks for the correct time of day (via the date command) and
if true, will execute the mksysb. Your sudoers entry will need to change
to: BACKUPS = /usr/sbin/do_backup" (or where ever you want to put it)

Subject: Sudo - time question..
I was curious is anybody knew of a way to allow sudo to only let itself run,
or a set of
commands to run. Let's say I have "Cmnd_Alias BACKUPS =
/usr/sbin/mksysb"
in the config file. Is there any way to limit that command to only being run
from 03:00 - 04:00?
Hopefully I made some sense. I couldn't find any flags or settings in the
documentation,
so thought I would bother the rest of you with it.
