I searched everywhere but cant get confirmation that a cpanel cron job cant run night or after hours only.
As example
During the day from 6am to 6pm the hour is set to 6-18 but during the opposite and night from 6pm to 6am the hour cant be set as 18-6
Unless there is some solution I guess only way is to run two cron jobs, one from 18-0 and one from 0-6
Seems I was wrong and cpanel inerface allow comma seperated hours so this worked
18,19,20,21,22,23,1,2,3,4,5,6

Is it possible to execute a Cron job such that between certain hours, it executes every 30 minutes, but other hours, only every 1 hour?
I was unable to figure this out using my basic Cron abilities.
I want to launch a same DAG at 2 differents times in the same day without copying this one, for exemple I want to run it every day at 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM
I'm not super certain if it will work but you might want to try passing a cron string to the schedule argument of the DAG. Where the cron defines your two times.
I'm also not certain you'll be able to have 5:00 and 6:30 only though, as different minute / hours.
This is a handy site for validating cron expressions.
This means running at hours 5 and 6 at minute 30.
A problem would be if you wanna 5:00 and 6:30, I don't guess CRON does not handle such options
I have a cron job that runs every 30 minutes, starting 10 minutes past a whole hour:
0+10/30+*+*+*+?
Now, this needs to be changed, so that in a specific time interval, it runs every 15 minutes instead. E.g. at 7.50, 8.05, 8.20 and 8.35. Then every 30 minutes again.
Is this possible with a single cron job and if so, how? Or do I need multiple jobs to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.
not easy in a single cron, and that is also hard to read.
multiple jobs may work fine and show much clear
// This will start at 1:10am, and every 30minutes run once.
0+10/30+1-23/2+*+*+?
// This will start at 0:10am, and every 15minutes run once.
0+10/15+0-24/2+*+*+?
you may also consider to void the two job running at the same time.
As far as I've understood, this is not possible within a single cron job.
setup cron from morning to evening only points out that three different cron jobs are needed, so I am closing my question.

I am using the above link and trying to create a cron job which runs at 12AM on the server every 2 weeks. Could anyone help.

After a google search I found this, maybe it can help you:

Because you've tagged your question with quartz-scheduler, I assume that you are using Quartz.
You can use the CalendarIntervalScheduleBuilder to set an interval of days, weeks, months, etc.
ScheduleBuilder schb = CalendarIntervalScheduleBuilder.calendarIntervalSchedule().withIntervalInWeeks(2);
Trigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger().startAt(DateBuilder.todayAt(0, 0, 0)).withSchedule(schb).forJob(muJob).build();
Here we are telling quartz to run our job every 2 weeks, starting today at 00:00:00 (12 :00 AM ?)
If you insist on using cron style jobs , this might be helpful : http://www.fclose.com/1199/how-to-run-a-cron-job-every-two-weeks-months-days/
i need to run a job 'x' times a day. job timing is every (say 'y' hours) between 8am and 8pm.
i read the documentation of cron between could not figure out how to place the "between times". any suggestion or a good tutorial should be really helpful.i could figure out this much.
Found this in a tutorial. I believe this will serve the requierment
SimpleTrigger simpleTrigger = new SimpleTrigger("simpleTrigger", "triggerGroup-s1");
simpleTrigger.setStartTime(d);
simpleTrigger.setRepeatInterval(1000*60*60*24);
simpleTrigger.setRepeatCount(15);
simpleTrigger.setEndTime(new Date(ctime + 60000L));
simpleTrigger.setPriority(10);
scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, simpleTrigger);
scheduler.start();
how could i modify the expression to serve my purpose.
You have a * in your example where you need to put the start/end hours:
0 8-20/y * * *
Where you replace y with the number of hours you want between runs should be fine. If you have some strange time like "1 hour and 15 minutes between runs", it's going to be a pain - probably just easier to calculate each time and enter it explicitly.
I don't know you can express this in cron expression.
However, you can use multiple Quartz triggers to serve this purpose.
