I believe the original poster was looking for a rolling 30-day average of
total bandwidth consumed between the hours of 8:00am and Midnight.  I
believe there is a workday total traffic counter which would meet his
purpose.  It would also avoid the messy roll-over values at the end of the
polling gap.

But changing the hours in crontab would be *much* simpler...
