Hello,

I'd like a job to run from Monday to Friday, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, executing every 5 mins.
Currently I have the schedule set at "All Day", from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and run every 5 mins. However, this executes it on the weekends as well.

This job checks an FTP server for a file, and does some transfers and a MailSend when it finds it.
Is there a way to schedule this so it doesn't run on weekends? I was thinking to build into the script to check if the day was Saturday or Sunday and to Exit if it was.

Because it is already a script type job you can easily make it to exit on a weekends before doing anything else.
Add the following lines in the beginning of the job script.

ChooseCase @T"d", END_DAY_CHECK
Case 1, 6
Exit
END_DAY_CHECK:

Just for my learning sake, since I'm not a programmer by any means...
This little bit of code checks for Case 1 and 6, and if it is, Exits.
If not, then it continues running from END_DAY_CHECK:?
I am assuming Case 1=Sunday and 6=Saturday.

Thanks again!

That's correct, @T"D" returns day number. In case of 1=Sunday and 6=Saturday the script simply exits.

Sorry, are you sure @T"D" returns the weekday number?
Because today is the 7th, and it's returning a 7 instead of a 3.

Sorry, @T"d" returns day of the month. If you need a week day number you can do this

Dim( week_day, number )
DayNumber( @T"mm/dd/yyyy", week_day )
ChooseCase week_day, END_DAY_CHECK
Case 1, 6
... and so on

.
To make it even more efficient you can avoid using week day numbers and instead use day names, for example

ChooseCase @T"dddd", END_DAY_CHECK
Case "Sunday", "Saturday"
... and so on
