Ending script at specific time.
Hello Everybody..
I've written the script that kick off through CRON job and kill itself by specific time.
I've start time and end time specify in env file.
i.e
START_TIME=1500 (03:00 PM)
END_TIME=0600 (06:00 AM)
It always works good if my START_TIME is before midnight and my END_TIME is after midnight.
I'm using follwing if condition to terminate my script.
if [ $CURRENT_TIME -gt $START_TIME ] || [ $CURRENT_TIME -lt $END_TIME ];
But if I wanted to change my START_TIME and END_TIME to like
START_TIME=1300 (01:00 PM)
END_TIME=1530 (03:30 PM)
then it's not follow the logic and script will run forever.
When job kick off through CRON then script will check that kick off time is after the START_TIME and before the END_TIME.
Please help me out with this!!!
Thanks in advance.
