How to run cron job every 2 hours?

Solution 1:

Just do:

0 */2 * * *  /home/username/test.sh 

The 0 at the beginning means to run at the 0th minute. (If it were an *, the script would run every minute during every second hour.)

Don't forget, you can check syslog to see if it ever actually ran!

Solution 2:

The line should read either:

0 0-23/2 * * * /home/username/test.sh

or

0 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /home/username/test.sh
