[TriLUG] bash script execution time

[Shane O'Donnell]

Second thought, you can do it all with cron, just with multiple entries...

*/15 3-22 * * * command
30,45 2 * * * command
0,15 23 * * * command

where "command" is the same script name.

I think this gets you what you're looking for.

And "man crontab" is your friend.
