How to cron schedule for a specific time range?

How do I schedule a search to run every Friday morning at 11 am until Sunday morning at 9 am using a cron job?

how often ?

marellasunil — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:07:54 GMT

every week

The third position is day of the week, with 0 = Sunday.

So if you want to run something every Friday it would be 5.

The second position is hour.

* 11 5 * *

Will run every Friday at 11.

Schedule the search time frame to look back to Sunday at 9, eariest=-122h@m latest=now.

Question is how often you want this search to be run in your timerange (Friday 11am --> Sunday 9am)

Yes, starting from Friday 11am till Sunday 9am every 5 mins.

minute | hour | Day of month | Month| Day of week

then it should be * 11 * * 5 for Every Friday at 11

so, this post is swallowing some characters when being published, as it actually had 5 positions in the cron .
Let's try again (this time correct):

Zero eleven asterix asterix five

0 11 * * 5
