if condition to check the hostname (unix)
I want to know the if condition in checking the hostname in unix and then running a cron job (all in a single line)

Thanks

Generally you don't do that kind of test in a crontab file, the test should be inside the script itself.

However, assume you want to see if the host name is foo, ignore the first part of the crontab line
Code:
0 18 * * 1-5  [ `hostname` = "foo" ] && /path/to/myscript.sh
