You could also use Quartz Scheduler DailyTimeIntervalScheduleBuilder class :

Trigger trigger = (Trigger) newTrigger().withSchedule(DailyTimeIntervalScheduleBuilder.dailyTimeIntervalSchedule().startingDailyAt(new TimeOfDay(8,0)).endingDailyAt(new TimeOfDay(11,0)).withInterval(5, IntervalUnit.MINUTE));

If I understand correctly for what you are asking, you would create a line in your crontab that looks something like this:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 8,9,10 * * * command to execute what you want to do

Hope that helps!

Ahhh, ok. I see now that this is tagged as c#, so perhaps you are in the realm of M$. I was looking at this strictly from a simple Linux / UNIX shell / crontab perspective. Sorry if that didn't help. – Lobos Apr 13 '12 at 18:37

  ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
                     .WithIdentity("trigger1")
                     .StartNow()
                     .WithSchedule(
                     DailyTimeIntervalScheduleBuilder.Create()
                     .StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(8,0)).EndingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(10,0)))
                      .Build();
