I need to create an autosys job that run on Saturday and Sunday only at Noon and 11:00 p.m. CST below is the script that I wrote based on what I saw online.

I'm new to this , can someone else please check and confirm if there's any other thing that I'm missing that can cause some issue?

insert_job: name job_type: CMD

command: /directory/zzz/xxx.ksh /directory/xxx/xxx

machine: ZZZ

owner: user

permission:

date_conditions: 1

days_of_week: sa,su

start_mins: 5,20,35,50

run_window: "12:00 , 23:00"

condition: s(XXX_XXX_CONTROL)

description: "pull xxx files"

std_out_file: $dummy.out

std_err_file: $dummy.err

alarm_if_fail: 1

profile: /directory/directory.profile

Your block for determining which days your jobs will run looks correct:

date_conditions: 1
days_of_week: sa,su

But your block for determining when on those days your job runs is off:

start_mins: 5,20,35,50 # specifies how many minutes after the top of an hour a job starts
run_window: "12:00 , 23:00"

As your JIL is now, the job will run 4 times an hour for 11 hours:

12:05, 12:20, 12:35, 12:50, 13:05, 13:20, ..., 22:35, and 22:50

You most likely want specific start_times:

start_times: "12:00, 23:00"

start_times and start_mins can't be defined in the same JIL, and run_window would be extraneous here, so it can be omitted along with start_mins.

You can also take a look at the must_start_times attribute if you want an alarm if your jobs didn't start on time.
