>>what is the origin of the custom of not saying tehillim at  night?
The question arose for those that volunteered to say certain tehillim  for
the welfare of the soldiers.
What does one do on shabbat?
Some say  not to say tehillim as a request on shabbat and others do not
say it on  motzei shabbat. Doesn't leave much time in  between<<

It is always mutar to say Tehillim.  The yehi ratzon that some  say with it 
-- don't know about saying that on Shabbos.  The Sefer Tehillim  in many 
editions is divided into seven sections, one for each day, including  Shabbos, plus 
there are a number of perakim of Tehillim that are part of the  davening on 
Shabbos, so I don't see how there could be any problem with saying  Tehillim on 
Shabbos.
 
As far as saying Tehillim at night, the source is kabalistic, but I once  
asked my father and he said not to worry about it.  I never heard of the  Motzash 
thing and do not believe it is anything to worry about, either.
