What you probably want is > > */10 6-23 * * * my-script In addition to the above, remember that it's possible to supply lists to cron fields. If you want to span midnight, you probably want something like: */10 0,6-23 * * * my-script Though this will run every 10 mins in the hours 00:00, 06:00, 07:00 etc. Again, probably not what you want. 6-23 will probably be best. -- Darac Marjal
