I want to set a cronjob entry that runs a script every 30 minutes from 9:00 to 18:00 but I do not want it to run at 18:30. The script should run for the first time at 9:00 and for the last time at 18:00. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible;
cronitself can’t solve the task, but it is possible using additional shell command:your_commandwill be executed if and only if the current time is not equal to 18:30
