Cron job for certain times of day/week

[mgillespie]

I have a script that emails summaries of my email waiting on my POP3 server to my work email address on a hourly basis. I have a small script in shell script /etc/cron.hourly that does it.

The problem is, that each morning I get loads of messages, and after a weekend, I get STACKS of messages!! I want the script to run hourly 09:00 to 17:00 M-F.

How can I do this? Examples welcome!! Cheers.

Run the script directly from /etc/crontab. Add a line something like this:

You'll probably want something like this:
