i think we can not have this two conditions for the hour field itself.. so we have to write two cronjobs.

 

* * * * * Script
MIN HOUR DayOfMonth MON DayOfWeek Script

First cron - Every day 6 a.m to 6 p.m in every one hour
 * 6-18 * * * Script

 

Second cron - Except Saturday 2 a.m to 8 a.m. --- run only on saturday at 0, 1, 9 to 23hrs

* 0-1 9-23 * * 6 Script

Please test it throughly before implementing it on prod.
