How to use whenever gem to run a task at 2 am AND 2 pm?

Question

Currently I run this code:

every 1.day, at: '2am' do
  rake 'data:load_direct_monitoring_statistics'
end if @environment == 'production'
every 1.day, at: '2pm' do
  rake 'data:load_direct_monitoring_statistics'
end if @environment == 'production'

This code works as intended, but: is there a way to use just one cron declaration to cover both cases?

Your question did not fit very well within the framework of Code Review in its current form, as you are asking a specific programming question, rather than a general review of your code. See [this](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) for reference. We elected to migrate it to Stack Overflow for this reason. — Phrancis, Mar 16 '16 at 15:02

According to test in whenever repository you should be able to pass Array

every "weekday", :at => %w(5:02am 3:52pm) do

Here is the source> https://github.com/javan/whenever/blob/334cfa01f373006cc032e23907b1777a8ea3f3b0/test/functional/output_at_test.rb

So in you case it should be ok to do like

every 1.day, at: ['2am','2pm'] do
  rake 'data:load_direct_monitoring_statistics'
end if @environment == 'production'
