Do you have a specific interval when to Run ? or a fixed time … means what is criteria - you want to run process thrice ?

yes at

8am 11am 2pm

so every three hours only three times a day

With the above mentioned CRON - The Process will start at 8 and Run at 8 , 11 and 2 .

And then we have to Keep a count of Execution i.e 3 in our case.

We can have variable/ value mentioned somewhere outside say in a excel - The Program starts and Verify the Count in that Excel / Notepad , If less that 3 Trigger the Process else Stop the process.

when executing for the first time , the Count will be zero and after each execution the count increment by 1.

This count has to reset everyday to Zero.

Hi, have you tried yet? Please can you tell me how exactly you solved this problem: keeping a count of execution ?
