Hi

I need to run a data scheduler between application maintenance hours like moring 9AM to 11AM for only once. please suggest a cron format.

So you want to run it once every day at, say, 10am? While we could certainly look that up for you in the documentation (if we wanted to, that is), let's start by you telling us what you think it is. Or -if you have no idea- what you think it might be after consulting the documentation.

I tried following cron

cron = 0 * 9-11 1/1 * ?

this is running for every minute between 9:00 AM to 11:59AM. As we mentioned boundary time is 11AM it still running till 11:59 AM ... why?

Let's break these down one by one. You have 6 values there - what does the value of each single one of them mean?
