[systemd-devel] Systemd.timer: Possibility to execute job hourly between 6 am and 6 pm.

[Kris Erik Schwerdt]

Hi,

thank you for your fast response. I thought that that is the way working anyway, but you also added the way for saying "do it every 2 hours to midnight" with 5/2:00 . And I think this long way is not very clear especially e. g. if this expression is written for days of month or minutes of an hour. 
For that reason I hoped that you would add this feature in future.

Hi,

You have to explicitly state each hour:

6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18:00:00 .
