Re: [help-gnubatch] How do I repeat through a range of times?

[Wechsler, Steven]

Presumably I could also have two gbch-var jobs, one enabling at the beginning 
of the time, and one disabling at the end (this might be more straightforward 
even though one more job would be required).

I was hoping there'd be a way to schedule it directly without the assistance of 
additional jobs.

Thanks,

Steve

One option could be to turn a flag on and off at specific times like:

gbch-r -r Days:1 -T 19:59 -f S -s trigger=1 empty.sh gbch-r -r Days:1 -T 23:51 
-f S -s trigger=0 empty.sh gbch-r -r Minutes:10 -c trigger=1 -T 0:00 -S 
/opt/mysql/instance/local/bin/runscript

If you have a sleep script, the two settings could be combined to:

gbch-r -r Days:1 -T 19:59 -s trigger=1 sleep14400.sh
