Let me clarify some more.....

I wish to schedule a script that would run every two hrs everyday starting at midnight except between 8:00pm and 10:00pm

Thanks...

I haven't tried this but I think either should help:

crontab -e
#type following
01 0,2,4,6 * * *
01 12,14,16,18,20,22 * * *

crontab -e
#type following
01 0-6 * * *
01 12-22 * * *
:)
