Hello, I am not new in fcron but I have never used all its functionalities. In fact, I only use &-lines in crontab which are like in Cron. However, today, I need to use Fcron for executions like once all Friday between 10:00 and 13:00. So I read Fcrontab(5) again. And I thought %-lines are what I needed. But, I didn't succeed in understanding how *ly, mid*ly and *s keywords work. Maybe could you help me. Where could I find more examples on those %-lines ?
What I have understood ? For instance for an execution all Friday between 10:00 and 13:00, I would write: %hours * 10-12 * * Fri /what/I/want/to/do Is it right ? For *ly and mid*ly, I don't understand the difference between mid and not mid. What are the differences between: %daily * 10-12 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all days between 10:00 and 13:00 ? And: %nightly * 10-12 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all nights between 10:00 and 13:00 ? So all days between 10:00 and 13:00 ... Or between: %hourly 15-30 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all hours between -:15 and -:30 ? And: %midhourly 15-30 /what/I/want/to/do # the same ? And what are the differences between weekly and midweekly, excepted Fcron starts to "try" the execution Monday or Thursday ? ... So can you explain me how work %-lines, or tell me where I could find a documentation more explicit than Fcrontab(5) ;-) . Regards, Grégoire Baron -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
