Setting up a cron job in cPanel to execute every 12 hrs and 20 mins

Question

How to set a cron job (in cPanel's Standard Cron manager) to run every 12 hours and 20 mins?

Say I want it to start at 5 AM. So the next run would be 5:20 PM, 5:40 AM, 6:00 PM, and so on.

Any idea?

Answer 1

The only thing I could think of would be to have it run ever 20 minutes, but exit if it's too soon. I don't think there's a scheduling system that let's you pick strange times like that.

Sorry.

Answer 2

this kind of jobs are normaly started with the at-command (on *nix).

and the job reschedule himself 24h20min after start.

unlikly to solve this with crontab

can cpanel start at-jobs
