From cron manual http   man7 org linux man-pages man5 crontab 5 html      Lists are allowed   A list is a set of numbers  or ranges  separated   by commas   Examples   1 2 5 9    0-4 8-12     So in this case it would be   30 10 14

you can write multiple lines in case of different minutes  for example you want to run at 10 01 AM and 2 30 PM 1 10       php -f  var www package index php controller function  30 14       php -f  var www package index php controller function  but the following is the best solution for running cron multiple times in a day as minutes are same  you can mention hours like 10 30   30 10 14       php -f  var www package index php controller function
