Hi @prasath.t, can you use %A to get the weekday name and check for this in your first if statement?

You may also be interested in the future 8.1.6 release, as this contains [cron-based scripting event](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/nightly-8-1-changelogs-2021/42410/69).

Also, slight note on using sleep in scripts. It can be considered bad practice in locking the thread with sleep (see [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Adding+a+Delay+to+a+Script) for further information). Although, in your case it’s a Gateway scoped script, so might not be so much of an issue. Just a minor observation 🙂
