 MR>>> An external file in which all zones and there ZMH's are layed down?

Maybe I'll do this:

PORTAL will get the ZMH information reading a PORTAL.ZMH file which you
have to create and edit. It can look like this:

|Zone| |Start| |End|
2      02:30   03:30
....

All times given as UTC, so you have to define the environment variable
TZ. If Portal misses this TZ variable it will assume that you are
living in UTC time zone.

I'm looking if there is code available to calculate UTC to local time so
that I doe not have to write this for myself which isn't a problem but
will need time a lot of testing.

PS: Portal does not call nonCM automatically with the exception that you
have defined a ZMH for your main zone or defined a opening time in the
node setup. 00:00 means whole day there.
