2) To schedule a shell script every 10min interval every day between 9AM to 10AM.
3) To schedule a shell script every day 10min interval every day between 7:30AM to 8:30AM.
Thanks in advcance.
Some of RavinderSingh13's suggestions would work on some Linux and UNIX systems, but would not work on others; some would be accepted by some system, but would not trigger at the requested times. The following should work with any version of
cron assuming that when you say between you mean to include the end points:
- 0,5,10,15,20,25,30 22 * * * /path/to/your/script
- 0,10,20,30,40,50 9 * * * /path/to/your/script
0 10 * * * /path/to/your/script
- 30,40,50 7 * * * /path/to/your/script
0,10,20,30 8 * * * /path/to/your/script
If you don't want to include the end points:
- 5,10,15,20,25 22 * * * /path/to/your/script
- 10,20,30,40,50 9 * * * /path/to/your/script
- 40,50 7 * * * /path/to/your/script
0,10,20 8 * * * /path/to/your/script
