In reply to Udaya Saradhi Sangubhatla. Run perlscript.pl at 23 minutes after midnight, 2am and 4am, everyday” It can be.

23 0,2,4 * * * /path/to/perlscript.pl

so it runs at 12.23, 2.23, 4.23.

@Abdirahim,

The cron runs at 23 minutes after midnight, 2am and 4am, everyday:

abdirahim ali — Mon, 24 May 2021 18:20:48 +0000

23 0-23/2 * * * /path/to/perlscript.pl

I understand all other example except this one — could you explain more.

For this example "Run perlscript.pl at 23 minutes after midnight, 2am and 4am, everyday" I hope exact answer would be below :

23  0-4/2  * * * /path/to/perlscript.pl
