How does nesting two crontab Contexts work?

Question

Is it possible to nest two crontab contexts like these?

create context Nest 
context A start (0, *, *, *, 1) end (0, *, *, *, 6),
context B start (0, 8, *, *, *) end (0, 22, *, *, *)

Does the first context decide the second context?

If so I assume, A should be the first since it decides the days, and the second will live as long the days are within the first context.

Yes you are right. The "A" context controls the "B" context. The "B" context lives only when A lives.

thanks, do you have any idea how I can determine which shall be the first one? Is there a way to check which crontab is "higher" than the other – sweep Feb 21 '17 at 10:19
