An interesting Cron schedule question...... 1

Hi Gurus,


I have been currently tasked with the this:
I need to create an entry to run a script every 5 minutes,
5 days Sunday to Thursday between 00:00 and 08:30 am.

The script already has the functionality to check if there is more than one occurance of it running.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

you'd need 2 crontab lines

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 0-7 * * 0-4 /path/to/script
0,5,10,15,20,25,30 8 * * 0-4 /path/to/script

if you can run the script until last run 8:55, then one crontab line will do it

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 0-8 * * 0-4 /path/to/script



HTH,

What kind of VG is that? Maybe it's an issue regarding the ration between PPs and PVs. From chvg manual... maybe the factor parameter helps you...
