I have a daily job to run every day, however, I want to schedule it in different time slot during weekend(Saturday and Sunday), here is what I have done on Asuswrt cru

1) 50 8,13 * * 1-5 /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/daily_job/listwan-rc-1.sh #listwan-rc-weekday#
2) 50 2 * * 6,7 /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/daily_job/listwan-rc-1.sh #listwan-rc-weekend#

The first one seems correct, no error output in syslog. The 2nd one seems having some syntax errors, here is the syslog:

Mar 26 18:18:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 18:28:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 18:38:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 18:48:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 19:01:50 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 19:16:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 19:31:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​
Mar 26 19:46:30 crond[1276]: user admin: parse error at 6,7​

Should I change it to:

50 2 * * SAT,SUN /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/daily_job/listwan-rc-1.sh #listwan-rc-weekend#

or

50 2 * * 6,0 /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/daily_job/listwan-rc-1.sh #listwan-rc-weekend#

or something else?

Thanks,
 
0,6 seems like a good choice.
 
Thanks, I changed it to 0,6 and monitor for a while, the parse error did not show up any more. Will leave it for 24 hours. If it is good, the thread could be closed.
