I want to run a Cron job for every 5 mins for 30 mins, starting at 22:30 till 23:00.
To do this I wrote it like this
0 30,0/5 22 ? * * *
If you put this in https://crontab.cronhub.io/
It will say:
At 30 minutes past the hour and every 5 minutes, starting every hour, between 10:00 PM and 10:59 PM
But when I looked at the logs, I see it started the run at 22:00 till 22:55.
Why is this happening? Also, how can I make it work like the way I want it to.
>Solution :
To run a Cron job every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, starting at 22:30 till 23:00, you can use the following syntax:
30-59/5 22 * * *
