How can i update /etc/crontab to quit a process as root every other minute during working hours, as in this case is 0800-1600, monday-saturday. How can I also allow the same process to be active between 12.00-12.30 and between 16:00-07:59?
sudo nano /etc/crontab
16.04 cron time etc

Don't you know the command to run or how to setup the timetable?

It's not possible to set this up in just one crontab line (at least I don't know a way right now) so you have to setup two jobs:
- one for the hours 8-11 and 13-15 that runs every minute (i.e. 08:00-11:59 and 13:00-15:59)
- and one for the minutes 31-59 in hour 12 (i.e. 12:31-12:59)
* 8-11,13-15 * * 1-6 /usr/bin/killall firefox
31-59 12 * * 1-6 /usr/bin/killall firefox
The 1-6 means monday to saturday
Add these to lines not to /etc/crontab but to root's crontab instead by issuing
sudo crontab -e
Change the command (killall …) to your needs.
