Hi Ankur,

I think you’ll need two crons for this schedules like:

1) 13:00 - 15:30 every tuesday:
* 13,14 * * 2
0-30 15 * * 2

2) Every minute on 15th july to 15th august:
* * 15-31 7 *
* * 1-15 8 *

Hope this helps.

What will be the crontab expression for following…

1) 13:00 to 15:30 hrs on every Tuesday

2) Every minute on 15th july to 15th august
