Crontab to run a job every minute from 11pm to 7:30am
I have this so far which is every minute from 11pm to 7:00am
the problem is the half hour.
* 23,0-7 * * *
You can play around with it here crontab_guru
Any ideas?
#Dunski : I have checked in many ways this *,0-30 23,0-7 * * * expression could stop at 07:59 min only but not yet 07:30 am.
As #jordanm suggested we have only a way to run two jobs from :
11 pm to 7 am expression * 23,0-7 * * * (“At every minute past hour 23 and every hour from 0 through 7.”) and then
7 am to 7:30 am 0-30 7 * * * (“At every minute from 0 through 30 past hour 7.”).

I have an AirFlow scheduler that I want to run at 13 until midnight from Monday to Saturday. I wrote an expression like this:
0 13-0 * * 1-6
While trying to validate this in crontab.guru for example I get an error since 0 is smaller than 13:

Does anyone know how can I write a valid cron-expression for this type of schedule?
If you would like to run your command at minute 00 from 13:00 onwards till midnight (inclusive) on all days except Sundays, then you have to play a trick. It is not possible to define the hour 24 in a crontab. You can define the hour 00, but a crontab of the form
0 0,13-23 * * 1-6
will run on Monday 00:00 and not on Sunday 00:00 which is what the OP really wants.
Here are two methods you can use:
Run two crontabs:
0 13-23 * * 1-6
0 0 * * 2-7
Run a single crontab a minute earlier:
59 12-23 * * 1-6
How about: 0 13-23 * * 1-6
“At minute 0 past every hour from 13 through 23 on every day-of-week from Monday through Saturday.”

I am new to cron expression. All i need to know that how to create cron for recurring job in Hangfire that executes after every 1 day at 5 pm, 1 am, 2:45 pm
Understanding that Hangfire also accepts standard Cron expression, I've tried exploring Cron expressions for this frequency but couldn't find one for it.
I know how it will be done for "every 15 minutes":
*/15 * * * *
I need to run it every day .
The general syntax used by cronjob schedular is :
# Execute the <b>command</b> every minute of every day.
* * * * * command
Explanation of all the fields used by cronjob schedular :
# field # meaning allowed values
# ------- ------------ --------------
# 1 minute 0-59
# 2 hour 0-23
# 3 day of month 1-31
# 4 month 1-12 (or names, see below)
# 5 day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
Instead of the first five fields, one of eight special strings can be used :
string meaning
------ -------
#reboot Run once, at startup.
#yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *".
#annually (same as #yearly)
#monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
#weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
#daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
#midnight (same as #daily)
#hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".
To repeat the job after an interval / is used :
*/15 * * * * command
# This will execute the command after every 15 minutes.
In order to execute the job at specific times, a "," can be used :
* 2,20 * * * command
# This will execute the job every minute but at the hours 2 AM and 8 PM.
Hope that clears your doubts.
I am Trying like:
RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate(() => Console.Write("Recurring"), "*/15 * * * *");
I have something like this 0,30 * * * * /some/command, I am not sure, is this executed every 30 minutes ?
Yes, the command would be executed every 30 minutes.
0,30 <--------------- execute at 0 minutes and 30 minutes into the hour.
* <--------------- every hour in the day
* <--------------- every day of the month
* <--------------- every month
* <--------------- every day of the week

Ensures it runs every 20 minutes, I'd like to run a task every 20 minutes, starting at 5 past the hour, is this possible with Cron? Would it be:
5/20 * * * * ?
To run a task every 20 minutes starting at 5 past the hour, try this:
5-59/20 * * * *
Explanation
An * in the minute field is the same as 0-59/1 where 0-59 is the range and 1 is the step. The command will run at the first minute in the range (0), then at all successive minutes that are distant from the first by step (1), until the last (59).
Which is why */20 * * * * will run at 0 minutes, 20 minutes after, and 40 minutes after -- which is the same as every 20 minutes. However, */25 * * * * will run at 0 minutes, 25 minutes after, and 50 minutes after -- which is not the same as every 25 minutes. That's why it's usually desirable to use a step value in the minute field that divides evenly into 60.
So to offset the start time, specify the range explicitly and set the first value to the amount of the offset.
Examples
5-59/20 * * * * will run at 5 minutes after, 25 minutes after, and 45 minutes after.
10-59/25 * * * * will run at 10 minutes after and 35 minutes after.
1-59/2 * * * * will run every odd minute.
Sure!
5,25,45 * * * * /your/cron
You can try: */5 * * * * sleep N; your job
I need a cron-expression (0 0/60 * * * ?) to fire application every 12 hours (twice a day).
Use e.g. 0 0 3,15 * * ? That'll run a job at 3am and 3pm. That's twice a day, with 12 hours between.
You could use 0 0 0/12 * * ? which means every 12 hours. Here's some examples.
Some examples that fit your criteria:
30 */12 * * *
runs at 00:30:00 and 12:30:00 each day
0 3-15/12 * * *
runs at 03:00:00 and 15:00:00 each day
23 4,16 * * *
runs at 04:23:00 and 16:23:00 each day
