Question Cron Stil "30 11,16 * * 3-7" allowed in Plesk?

[brother4]

Does Plesk Onyx for Linux support the cron syntax 30 11,16 * * 3-7 for scheduling tasks? I want to run a script at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM every Wednesday through Sunday.

If your server supports that kind of cron syntax then plesk should be able to run it without issues.

I was just wondering if Plesk validates something like that or just files it and that's it? I have an Ubuntu 22.04 server. According to Crontab.guru - The cron schedule expression generator it is not a standard rule. So I was unsure how to find out if it works or not.

Anyway, it seems to be running correctly at the moment.

It seems the question is answered For history, for people who find the thread in the future, the main thing here is to switch the "Run" setting to the "Cron style"; then Plesk will pass the provided options to the cron.

Click Add task and set specify Run parameter to Cron style.
