Question

I am developing java application and in this I wanted to run some method periodically. I have used java schedule to run that method periodically. This is my Cron Expression.

/* runs in twelth second by every 5 minutes*/   
public static String CRON_TIME = "12 0/5 * * * ?";

This works fine. Now I wanted to stop running this scheduler for one hour per day. How I can write Cron Expression to do it? Give me a idea.

Answer 1

If you want to exclude between 01:00 and 02:00 then use:

"12 0/5 0,2-23 * * ?"
