Run job every 20 minutes except between 2 and 4am

Hi all,

I'd like to know if it is possible to define a cyclic job that stops running during a defined time interval. For exemple run every 20 minutes except between 2 and 4 AM. In crontab that would look like this:

Code: Select all

00, 20, 40 0-2, 4-23 * * * myjob.sh

Regards.

cyclic every 20 minutes from target

time from = 0400
time until = 0200

If this is a daily job,unless your newday is between 02:00 and 04:00 you may also need to have a Maxwait of 1 and maximum number of iterations/a lock condition to prevent two instances from running at the same time. (Comments based on 6.3 version.)

It depends on newday timing as well. Copy the same job and put in the same table with the different scheduling criteria.

For Eg if the newday happens at 8:00 system time in 24hour clock you can set it like this.

From 0800 UNTIL 0200 From target Every 20 minutes
From 0400 UNTIL 0759 From target Every 20 minutes
