Multipe conditions in if statement
I have a script that runs every 15 minutes in cron that builds a web page.
It runs at 15, 28, 45 and 58 minutes past the hour. (pretty much evry 15 mins).

Every 2 hours from 6:28 to 18:28 it sends out emails if it finds errors. I do not want it sending email every single time it runs, every 15 mins.

So I have this statement:

if [ "$thour" = "06:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "08:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "10:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "12:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "14:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "16:28" ] || [ "$thour" = "18:28" ];then
send the mail .......

Is there a better way to do this?
something like

if $thour = "06:28" +2 hours up until "22:28" then ...... send the email

If I want to extend it beyond 18:28 as in my pretend statment above .. I'd like to be able to just change a range rather than keep adding more confitions in the if statement.

Whats more is that the script does a bunch of things and this timeline for sending emails is used a few times in the script like this:

build web page one
if errors are found send email to ABC with subject XYZ at times in this range

build web page two
if errors are found send email to DEF with subject UVW at times in this range

and so on .....

reporter-mailx

REPORTER-MAILX(1)						 LIBREPORT MANUAL						 REPORTER-MAILX(1)

NAME

       reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.

SYNOPSIS

       reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
       recipient.

       Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables.

   Configuration file
       Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value".

       The options are:

       Subject
	   The subject of the email message.

       EmailFrom
	   The sender of the email message.

       EmailTo
	   The recipient of the email message.

       SendBinaryData
	   Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.

   Integration with ABRT events
       reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured
       in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:

	   EVENT=report_Mailx	   reporter-mailx

       It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file
       to run the tool on the post-create event:

	   EVENT=post-create	   reporter-mailx

OPTIONS

       -d DIR
	   Path to problem directory.

       -c CONFFILE
	   Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via
	   environment variables.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Environment variables take precedence over values provided in the configuration file.

       Mailx_Subject
	   Subject of the email message.

       Mailx_EmailFrom
	   Sender of the email message.

       Mailx_EmailTo
	   Recipient of the email message. If nor the environment variable nor the corresponding option is defined, the message is send to
	   "root@localhost".

       Mailx_SendBinaryData
	   Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email.
