My Jenkins job executes Webdriver tests continuously however i need to exclude the hours of 2am between 6am, possible?
I know there are useful links available:
https://crontab.guru/#_5-23___
I added the following but dosnt seem to work:
* 6-23 * * *
* 1-2 * * *
* 0-1 * * *
If I understood well you need to exclude the hours from 2am to 6am (both included).
Something like this:
* 0-1,7-23 * * *
Implemented the following which I can confirm works:
* 0,1,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 * * *

I want to set a schedule for a parametrized Jenkins job to start in different time with different parameters, but I can not find the correct syntax for this. I would like to have something like that:
30 1 * * * % VAR1=VALUE1, VAR2=VALUE2
30 2 * * * % VAR1=VALUE3, VAR2=VALUE4
How to do it correctly?
The answer is in the plugin README:
parameterized-scheduler-plugin README.md
# leave spaces where you want them around the parameters. They'll be trimmed.
# we let the build run with the default name
5 * * * * % furniture=chair;color=black
# now, let's override that default name and use Mr. Rubble.
10 * * * * % furniture=desk; color=yellow; name=barney
Not explicitly documented, but the example and the code show it to be PAIR_SEPARATOR= ";"

I want to set Jenkins to run a job every 3rd minute, but not starting at 0. Basically, I have 3 jobs and I want to cycle through them each minute.
The first job I can run every 3rd minute with */3 * * * *. But the second I tried 1/3 * * * * and it failed with hudson.remoting.ProxyException: line 1:2: unexpected token: /
How do I write this expression?
I think you're looking for:
job 1: 0-57/3 * * * *
job 2: 1-58/3 * * * *
job 3: 2-59/3 * * * *
Think of the cron minute entry as meaning "range/step" (or, "run this every step minutes over the minute range start-end)
Reference: I was able to figure it out from this excellent answer, which includes some helpful related links and a more in-depth explanation.
Schedule Jenkins Build Execution During Specific Times using Build periodically: (* * * * * *)?
For example: * * * * * * will execute builds continuously,
Is there a way to use the above approach but to run builds continuously between lets say 9am until 11pm.
Example:
Monday: time of execution: 9am until 11pm.
Tuesday: time of execution: 9am until 11pm.
To run jobs between 9am - 11pm every day, you could use the following:
* 9-23 * * *
To run jobs between 9am - 11pm only on Monday, you can use:
* 9-23 * * 1
And likewise for Tuesday:
* 9-23 * * 2
This website is a great resource for experimenting with cron job formats, and seeing a "human translation" for the syntax.
I think you can use the following cron expression : H 9-23 * * *
To build your own new cron expression keep the following link handy and test in Jenkins:

How can I run a job created in Jenkins every one minute ? Am I missing anything?
PS: I'm trying not to use: */1 * * * *
Try * * * * * to run every minute.
Unfortunately H/1 * * * * does not work due to open defect.
Defect: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-22129
Your intuition is right, H/1 is supposed to behave like "run every minute".
However, there is a well-known bug in Jenkins. See JENKINS-22129.
Currently, H/1 behaves like "run every hour".
Use this format it will Run a Jenkins job every one minute "* * * * *"
To run the build process every minute,
check the Build periodically option and add * * * * *
I made jobs to start at every 4 hours H */4 * * *
But I can't schedule at 4:10
I tried 10 */4 * * * and H/10 */4 * * *
Unfortunately no luck
Configuring a fixed time is very simple:
10 4 * * *
Your 10 */4 * * * means "run it every 4 hours, at minute 10".

EDIT
Sorry, from the description it seems you want to run it at exactly 4.10, but I then realized that in the title you say something different: every 4h and 10'. Do you mean e.g. at [1.10, 5.20, 9.30]? If so, try */10 */4 * * *.
Please provide an example with a sequence of times you expect, e.g. [2.10, 3.20, 4.30], so that it's more clear what you want.
