Crontab expression for a 8 and a half hour range

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.”).

Run cron job every first minute of every hour

I need to run cron job every hour at first minute
I have already tried the following :
1> 0 * * * * ? *
2> 0 */1 * * * ? *
Unfortunately I did not get correct results
I need the job to start at first minute for every hour as the following :
0:01
1:01
2:01
3:01
4:01
.
.
23:01
end
Every hour at minutes 1

cron expression to 0-8am = 3 minutes and 9-23 = 1 hour

How to create expression will run 0-8am = 3 minutes and 9-23pm = 1 hour.
Example, expression run per 3 minutes = '*/3 * * * *' and i want every 3 minutes and 1 hour.
You can't do such thing with a single cron expression. You will have to use two separated expressions :
Every 3 minutes from 0am to 8am : */3 0-8 * * *
Every hour from 9am to 11pm : 0 9-23 * * *

How to create cron expression for Hangfire job that executes everyday at some time

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 * * * *");

execute crontab twice daily at 00h and 13:30

i want to execute a script twice daily at 00:00 and 13:30 so i write :
0,30 0,13 * * *
it seems wrong for me, because like this, the script will fire at 00:00 , 00:30 , 13:00 and 13:30. Any idea ?
Try this-: 00 01,13 * * *
it will run at 1 A.M and 1 P.M
You can't do what you want in one entry, since the two minute definitions will apply for both hour definitions (as you've identified).
The solution is (unfortunately) use two cron entries. One for 00:00 and one for 13:30.
An alternative is perhaps to execute one script at 00:00. That script would execute your original script, then wait 13.5 hours and then execute that script again. It would be easy to do via a simple sleep command, but I think it's unintuitive, and I'm not sure how cron manages such long running processes (what happens if you edit the crontab - does it kill a spawned job etc.)
You CAN NOT do that with cron on a single line.
You have to create 2 separate lines like so:
# Will run "YourCommand" at 00:00 every day of every months
#Min Hours D of the M Month D of the Week Command
0 0 * * * YourCommand
# Will run "YourCommand" at 13:30 every day of every months
30 13 * * * YourCommand
Or, as a single line, you can run a command every x hours, like so:
# Will run "YourCommand" every 12 hours
0 */12 * * * YourCommand
or
# Will run "YourCommand" at 1am and 1pm every day
0 1,13 * * * YourCommand arg1 arg2
Try this out: 0 6,18 * * *
it will run at minute 0 past hour 6 and 18
Or you can try it out on cronguru
try ...
00,30 00,13 * * * [ `date +%H%M` == 1330 ] || [ `date +%H%M` == 0000 ] && logger "its time"
Try this out:
0 1,13 * * *
What the above code means:
Cron will run at minute 0 past hour 1 and 13
Sharing a screenshot from crontab.guru
30 0,13 * * * somecommand.sh
This is just purely an example, but you will see that this is a cron entry that will run at 0:30AM and then 1:30PM (13 is 1 in military time). Just comma separate the hours, or comma separate whatever section of the cron.
try this,
0 10 9/12 ? * *
At second :00, at minute :10, every 12 hours starting at 09am, of every day
Try this, Only if you have the same minutes for each schedule. This will run your job twice a day at 1:00 & 13:00
0 1,13 * * *
