I don't have a box to test a cron job so I am posting it here.
I want to run a job every hour between 6 am to 18:00.This is what I have tried
0 6-18/1 * * * <command>
and
0 6-18 * * * <command>
Which one is the correct way of achieving it

Both should work, but I would probably use the second one.

What would be the cron expression for "nth second of every minute"?
For example, for every 5th second of every minute, the cron would run at 1:00:05, 1:01:05, 1:02:05 and so on.. 24x7.
I could not find any documentation for achieving this.
Thanks in advance!
This functionality is not available out of the box. What you could do is prepend your command with sleep, so it would be:
sleep 5 && /app/script.sh
Figured it out. The cron expression would be.
5 * 0 ? * *

I would like a cronjob that runs every 5min with the condition that it doesn't start at time 0.
Current schedule is:
*/5 * * * *
However, this will kick off the script at 00:00. I need something like (5-60)/5 * * * *
Thanks!
I'm not sure there is a way to do this in cron. You might be better off leaving the schedule as is, and checking the time in the beginning of your script, and using a condition to exit the script if it is not supposed to run at that time.

I have a cronjob set to run as
3 6 10 * 1-6 wget'http://...'
How will this execute ? I intend to run it at 6:03 AM on the 10th Of Every Month expect on Sundays.
I am confused as it ran on Saturday, even when the date was not 10th.
Please advise if there is an error with my command or could it be something else ?
The way you have this setup, your command will execute EITHER when the day of the week is 1-6 OR when the day of month is 10.

How can I automatically restart my node js server every 4 hours automatically. There is a bug that only shows up after 4 hours and I want to be able to run it through the night.
I'm already using forever.
Thanks,
Arjun
It doesn't sound like you're really solving the problem... But you could use a crob job.
Something like:
0 */4 * * * forever restart <MYSCRIPT.JS>
