[SOLVED] Crontab except specific hours

Issue

I would like to run Crontab every 30 minutes except from 12 AM - 6 AM EST

The following is to set it every 30 minutes but i don't know how to except the mentioned hours.

*/30 * * * *

Thanks in advance.

Solution

I believe you want this rule:

0 0,30 6/1 ? * * *

This runs at 0 minutes and 30 minutes past the hour, and every hour after the 6th hour.

This assumes that your system timezone is in an ET timezone like America/New_York
