cron entry
Can someone please quickly respond to this?

I need to have a script test.sh to run every 30 minutes from Monday to Saturday from 6am to 10pm as a crontab entry...

Thanks.

I suppose something like :

00,30 6-22 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh
or
00,30 6-21 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh
or
00,30 6-21 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh
00 22 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh

We follow ctsngnb's logic and realise that the question is ambiguous.
If you mean 06:00 - 22:00 inclusive, of ctsngb's posts this is the one. Note the extra cron to cause the script to run at 22:00 and not at 22:30. Good work ctsngb.
Code:
00,30 6-21 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh
00 22 * * 1-6 /your_script_path/test.sh
