CRON Expression for 2 Start Times

[Jesse Ortega Jr]

Hello All. I am trying to create a crons expression to run twice a day every day but I am having no luck. I am using 0 16, 0 22 ? * MON-FRI to get the out put of 4PM and 10PM Monday - Friday but instead it runs at 10PM and again in 16 minutes Monday - Friday. Is there a way to set 2 start times in the cons expression?

Hi @Jesse Ortega Jr ,

Let me start off by saying that CRON is always a challenger. 😂

But a saw a little error in your example. Please, could you try this? 0 0 16,22 ? * MON-FRI

If I helped you, please mark my answer as correct to help other members.

Thanks a lot! This worked :) 

What if the time include minutes; 8:30 AM and 3:45 PM every Mon-Fri?

Hi, @Jesse Ortega Jr

Glad to hear that. ✌🏽

About your example, try this: 0 30,45 8,15 ? * MON-FRI
