The following cron expression cron(0 14? * MON-FRI *)
basically runs something 4:00 pm from Monday to Friday.
I am wondering if it is possible to modify the expression so I can run something at 4:00 am and 4:00 pm every Monday to Friday.
Use this crontab
line to run command_name
at 4:00 and 16:00 (4 AM and 4 PM) Monday-Friday:
0 4,16 * * 1-5 command_name
From crontab
manual :
The time and date fields are:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sunday, or use names)
Your Cron job description looks different from the general crontab. But to give you an idea of how to achieve what you're looking for:
crontab -e
* 4 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/...# Your command goes here 04:00 am.
* 16 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/...# Your command goes here 04:00 pm.
4PM (16:00): 0 16 * * MON-FRI
See crontab guru
"At 16:00 on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday.”
4AM &4 PM (4:00 & 16:00): 0 4,16 * * MON-FRI
See crontab guru
“At minute 0 past hour 4 and 16 on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday.”
