Laravel scheduler run twiceDaily at specific hours

Question

How can I run Laravel scheduler twice daily at specific hours? Let's say I want my command to run every day at 9am and 5pm

There is an option to use twiceDaily, but I'm not sure how to specify hours

You can use manual cron expression:

$schedule->command('foo')->cron('0 9,17 * * *');
