vBulletin 3 is end of life and will not be receiving future development. Warning: vBulletin 3.8.11 is not compatible with PHP 7.2.0 or higher.
Welcome to the vBulletin support forums! In our community forums you can receive professional support and assistance with any issues you might have with your vBulletin Products.
If your goal is to turn the forum on and off, you will have to actually write a cron job that you run from your server, not one run through vBulletin. If you use vBulletin, then your script could shut the forum down, but once it is down, Scheduled Tasks no longer run, so you wouldn't be able to turn it back on. Thus, you will have to write a script that you run by a cron job on your server. The place to ask for help with that is over on vbulletin.org, the modification site.
Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads. vBulletin Manual & vBulletin 4.0 Code Documentation (API)
