What is the best way to run a search to be alerted/emailed between 4pm-6am M-F, weekend and holidays? Should the search include the times or be adjusted in the cron schedule or lookup table? What would the example look like? Thanks.
@ahuihou,
I think then you need to go for 4 different alert setup.
I don't think you can achieve all condition in same cron schedule.
Please try below option..
“At minute 0 past hour 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.”
00 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,00,1,2,3,4,5,6 * * Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri
“At minute 0 past every hour on Saturday and Sunday.”
00 */1 * * Sat,Sun
“At minute 0 past every hour on Monday.”
00 */1 * * Mon
“At minute 0 past every hour on Thursday.”
00 */1 * * Thu
Thanks ..
No alert during the daytime between 6am-4pm M-F. I want an alert during 4pm-6am + all weekend + all holidays. The holidays would be tricky. Would a lookup table or file be the best or a combination of cron + lookup? If so, how is this accomplished?
@ahuihou,
It's always best to go for cron schedule for your scenario.
Try below cron cmd to schedule for 4pm-6am runs at “At minute 0 past hour 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.” of ever on everyday. Take cron from 00.
00 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,00,1,2,3,4,5,6 * * *
I want to get alerted M-F 4pm-6am + all weekend + all holidays. The tricky part would be the holidays. Would a lookup table + cron be the way to go? If so, how would I accomplish this?
Hi,
You can do this by adjusting the cron schedule which looks something like this.
The cron syntax is:
0 7-19 * * 1-5 (run hourly, 7am-7pm inclusive, Mon-Fri)
0 7-16 * * 6 (run hourly, 7am-4pm inclusive, Saturday)
Let me know if this helps.

@ahuihou,
As per ur comment. I look like u need alert for all whole calendar year .. so u don't wanna specify any day ...
4pm-6am M-F
all day Saturday and Sunday 24hours
Holiday on Monday, all day Monday , Thanksgiving Thursday , all day Thursday. Does that make sense?
then you can set an alert to trigger between 4pm-6am everyday.
