Periodic processing like every N hours is certainly possible with the database.
But I’m not sure how to use that to process based on the local time, like “06:00” for start of shift, or "23:59:59" for an end-of-day summary.
That’s similar to 24h processing, except it’s 23h resp. 25h for daylight savings time transitions, and you want the period to be in phase with the wall clock.
A subroutine record that returns seconds since midnight, local time, can be used for that, but not one that returns seconds since the EPICS epoch.
