How to run a script everyday between 7 and 8 pm with the time interval of 5 minutes?

Hi,

Can someone help me in running a cronjob everyday between 7 and 8 pm with the time interval of 5 minutes in between to repeat that script. The script is so small and I need that to run daily between this time. Please if possible provide me the syntax for this logic.

Thanks.

You need to add the contents shared by Jim to your crontab file. Refer crontab command for scheduling a task.
