I can't figure out how to create a job that ends at a specific hour and minute
If you break your cronjob into two, it would look like:
* 8-19 * * * command
0-30/1 19 * * * command
first line runs every minute from 8-19, and second line every minute from 19-19:30.
Cron triggers are not quite suitable for these types of schedules. If you do not insist on using a Cron trigger, I recommend that you check the Daily Time Interval trigger that is designed for use-cases such as yours. I am attaching a screenshot of a Daily Time Interval Trigger configuration for your use-case.

How to write a cron which run only on any hour and half (xx:30) ?
For example it would run only at 00:30, 01:30, 02:30, on so on until 23:30.
The first field in a crontab entry is the minutes. You want your job to run whenever the "minutes" part of the current time equals 30, so you need a 30 in the first field. You want it to run at such a time regardless of what the hours, days, or months are, so you put * in the remaining fields.
30 * * * * /my/job
I have a task which needs to be scheduled for every 15 min from Monday to Friday during Biz hours (UTC time based).
For the same task, I want to reduce the frequency of execution during weekend to 4 hrs.
For this scenario, cron would be:
*/15 00-01,12-23 * * 01-05
* */4 * * 06-07
Is there anyway to have a single cron instead of two separate cron job? Or can I, in any way, append the two cron jobs into a single one?
If I wish to run my function app at 11.15 PM to next day 1.15 AM(That mean MONDAY 11.15 PM start and TUESDAY 1.15 AM will end) and it will trigger every minute during this time.
Can anyone help me to write this CRON expression?
The timer triggers are designed for a single repeating interval. The only way to do this completely within a Function is to run the trigger once per minute, then abort if the current time isn't in the desired target time period.
Alternately, put your logic into an HTTP trigger configured to act as a webhook, then use an Azure scheduler to configure start and stop times and intervals.
You won't be able to use the scheduler free plan since it can only run once per hour, but the standard plan can run once per minute. Scheduler pricing here.
You'll have to do this in three lines I think,
15-59 23 * * *
* 0 * * *
0-15 1 * * *
This will run it from 23:15-23:59 then 00:00-00:59 then 1:00-1:15
In AWS glue service there is an option to trigger job by custom CRON expression. Before i used this (0/2 * * ? *) cron expression to trigger job for every 2 hours.
Now I need to change the cron expression to trigger every 90 minutes, i.e for every 1 and a half hour. I tried with many cron expressions but that did not triggered for every 90 minutes. Even if i give for 90 minutes, it trigged for every 1 hour.
Can anyone help me out by providing the correct cron expression to trigger job for every 90 minutes ?
You can use the following pattern which was based on Bill Weiss' answer on Server Fault. It was modified to comply with the unique syntax AWS uses (reference here):
0 0-21/3 * * ? *
30 1-22/3 * * ? *
You'll have to define two separate Glue Triggers to accomplish this, each with the same job settings.
If curious, the syntax reads:
Run every 0th minute for every third hour for 0-21 hours
Run every 30th minute for every third hour for 1-22 hours
How do you run a cron job every minute only between office hours(10 am to 5pm)
I checked this thread Run a cron job every minute only on specific hours? but it doesn't answer my questions.
This should be correct:
* 10-16 * * 1-5 /path/to/my-script
So every single minute, between and including 10am and 5pm, every day in every month that is a day between and including monday to friday. Obviously "office hours" is a fuzzy expression, many people have other schedules ;-)
Unfortunately I fail to see an easy solution to get the script executed also exactly on 5pm...
* 10-16 * * * /path/to/executable/file argument_1 argument_2
Yes, you can define hours range.
Someone tried to edit my answer but as documentation says hours in range are inclusive http://team.macnn.com/drafts/crontab_defs.html so don't change 16 to 17.
It does,
Access your shell script and add the following
* 10-17 * * *
This means run every min, between these hours, on every day, of every month etc
