3 jobs.
We're currently do just that.

Now that I think about it, it may take 4 jobs. For the after hours during
the week, I'm not sure I can specify a beginning time of 17:00 with an
ending time of the following morning of 08:00. Have you done one that
crosses midnight?

And do you know what to use for midnight? 00:00 or 24:00.

There are a couple of ways I can think of to do this:

1) Set up 3 separate AJS jobs that all all the same except for the

schedule.

2) Set up 1 "real" AJS job that is the actual command, then a couple
of other AJS jobs that do a CHGJOBJS to the schedule of the real AJS

job.

The first seems simpler to me, while some may think the 2nd is more
"elegant."

The first seems simpler to me as well. If you really need three jobs
either way, then there is a good case for making them as straightforward
and easy to understand as possible.

To me, the second option you presented is not particularly elegant.

What *might* be more elegant, in my opinion, is an ongoing script which
periodically runs the command and does the necessary logic to adjust its
own delay time accordingly. The advantage is the logic is all in one

place

instead of spread out among three jobs. The disadvantage is of course

that

it's less "visible", in terms of administration (you'd have to inspect

the

code, rather than just look at the scheduler).
