Crontab schedule
I have the following crontab entry.
0,30 00-16 * * * This job runs every 30 minutes between the hours of 12:00AM and 4:00PM. How can I have it stop at 4:30PM instead? Thank you, David Last edited by dkranes; 10-01-2008 at 08:33 PM.. |

I believe the only way is to use 2 cronjobs. Add a second cron entry for 4:30.

0,30 00-16 * * * command
There is nothing wrong with this crontab entry. It should run the command on the hour and half hour from midnight thru 4:30pm every day. Did you mean to have it NOT run at 4:30? You'd need two lines: 0,30 00-15 * * * command # Runs from midnight to 3:30pm 0 16 * * * command # Runs at 4:00pm |

 The post must have made me think it doesn't run at 4:30, but his setting would run at midnight and 4:30pm. |
