I am trying to create a Cron Expression for running job every 4 hours starting at 4pm, but should not run between 12am to 7am of the day.
So far I tried to do this but it does not work.
0 0 16/4 ? 0-2,7-23 * * *
This could be your cron expression.
0 0 16/4,20,8,12 ? * * *

I might be overlooking over already-asked-question, but I have not found it yet. Basically, did I do it right in order to execute job for every minute within 9 AM to 6 PM?
schedule.scheduleJob("*/1 9-18 * * *", function Job())
The cron expression should be 0 * 9-18 ? * * *
It reads 0 seconds, every minute, from 9 to 18 every day, every month, every year.
Use cron expression builder for convenience - something like this:

I have this CRON pattern for my web jobs 0 0/12 20 * * * and it's running every 12 hours starting 8PM. now the problem is that in azure the service run for almost 5 times until 9PM. is there a way that it should only run once?
Your cron expression means it starts from 8pm and every runs 12 minutes. Cause the azure timer binding document couldn't be open for now, you could refer to this wiki: TimerTrigger.
There are six fields {second} {minute} {hour} {day} {month} {day of the week} to schedule.
So in your situation if you want to run every 12 hours starting 8PM. Yo could try this cron: 0 0 20/12 * * * or with this one 0 0 8,20 * * *. One is start from 8pm and every 12 hours and one is run at the specified time.
In mule, I need to poll once in 48 hours.
I wrote the cron expression 0 0 1/48 ? * * but it is running twice in 48 hours, i.e, once in 24 hours.
Can anybody suggest exact expression?
You can also make use of cron maker.

You can use 0 0 0 1/2 * ? * to poll once every two days at 12 AM. The 3rd value from right can be used to specify that at what hour you want to poll once every two days.
One thing I can notice in the cron expression you are using is you are putting 1/48 at wrong position.
The cron expression has specific place for unit of time.
Minute Hour Day Month Weekday
if you want to execute the job every 48 hours you should something like this :
0 */48 * * *
or if you want to execute the job once in 2 days then you could use something like below:
0 0 */2 * *
Let me know if this is helpful for you.
We need to produce Azure CRON Expression to start job at certain date between a start and end time at intervals of hours or minutes.
So say if I want the job to run every 30 mins starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my expression should go like below?
0 30/30 7-13 * * *
And to run every 2 hours starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my my expression should go like below?
0 30 7-13/2 * * *
Is it possible to achieve these with Azure CRON at all? If not what's my alternative?
The CRON Expressions are not Azure specific but CRON specific.
First you need to get deep into the cron and understand how it works and what does the cron expression mean here. Then you can use tools like CRONTab Guru here to get to your expression.
To get to something that might be the one you search for:
0,30 7-13 * * *
This expression is read:
“At minute 0 and 30 past every hour from 7 through 13.”
Which is basically every 30 minutes starting at 07:00 and ending at 13:30.
You can give yourself a try with the CronTab Guru and find the best suiting formula for you.
I have a crontab set up to execute the 0th minute of every 3rd hour every day
The crontab syntax for this is:
0 */3 * * * perl test.pl
Will this always run on the 0th minute of some specific hours of the day that are 3 hours apart. Or, will the time at which I install the new crontab affect the hour that this runs?
This cron will execute on Hours that are divisible by 3 so it should not matter at which time its started. The next occurance of an hour Divisible by 3 will be the first execution of your cron.
As per Chiyaan Suraj's comment, this will run on 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 hours.
On your second comment, this will be on hours divisible by 5 (0,5,10,15,20)
