Cron expression with start and end time

Question

I am trying to write an cron expression with a specific start time and end time everyday. i.e. every minute from 10:15 to 17:35 everyday

One possible solution for this is writing 3 different cron expressions like this:

0 15-59 10 * * *
0 * 11-17 * * *
0 0-35 17 * * *

Is there any possible way to write this in one single cron expression ?

Answer 1

There is no other way to achieve it using single crone expression but to specify multiple crone expressions for specific startDate and endDate. There is a slight modification in second crone expression though (highlighted one)

0 15-59 10 * * * (Every minute between 10:15 AM and 10:59 AM)

0 * 11-16 * * * (Every minute, between 11:00 AM and 04:59 PM)

0 0-35 17 * * * (Every minute between 05:00 PM and 05:35 PM)
