I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do in one line just in cron. You can do it with a bit of shell too: */15 8-17 * * 1-5 [ `date +\%H\%M` -lt 1715 ] && /do/my/job.sh Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
