How to specify hour in cron with range over midnight?

Question

I need run a job every 15 minutes from 11 PM to 2 AM. I am using below range but its not working.

*/15 23,00-02 * * *

cron is ignoring the 23 and is running the job from 12AM ie 00.

Its in RedHat Enterprise Linux and its accepting ranges.

Have you tried putting them in ascending order? 00-02,23 (or even 00,01,23, as you don't want it running after 2am) — JigglyNaga, Sep 26 '18 at 14:52
