Hi,
We have outage every morning between 4 am to 6am. Don't want the splunk logs to run between this time..
I tried using this .
*/5 0-4,6-23 * * *
But this might not include 11pm to 12 am
Please suggest
Thanks
That should work fine I would say, except that you need to change the 4 to a 3: */5 0-3,6-23 * * *
. See for example: http://cron.schlitt.info/index.php?cron=*%2F15+0-4%2C6-23+*+*+*&iterations=100&test=Test
Note: I changed the example on that site to 15min, to show multiple days as that site is limited to 100 iterations for the test output.

Would this include 11pm to 12 am?
And can you please share the reason for 0-3 ?
I think you might be misunderstanding how cron syntax works.
*/5 0-3 does not mean every 5 minutes from 0 till 3. It means every 5 minutes for any hour matching 0, 1, 2, 3. So effectively, that is 0:00 - 3:55. Same for the 23 at the end, that means last run of the day is at 23:55.
And that is also why you should not include the 4, as that stretches it to run from 0:00 - 4:55.
Thank you so much Frank for the extended answers. This helps a lot.
Thanks Frank for the response.
Can you please share the reason for 0-3 instead of 0-4..
Also, would this include the ties between 11pm to 12 am as well ?
Appreciate your response.
