Schedule same Jenkins job multiple times each time with different parameters

Question

I have a Jenkins parametrised job which I want to schedule nightly, morning and weekly. Its basically a startup/shutdown environment job which shutsdown the environment during night and start it up early in the morning and weekends are different schedule. so how can I do this without creating three separate jobs ?

I need to build this job on different times 1) every (MON-FRI) weekday morning 7 am START environment 2) every (MON-FRI) weekday evening 8 pm STOP environment

So do you need 3 parameters ? Or do you want to build this job on 3 different times? For example H 9,17 * * * means it will build at 9 am and 5 pm — Anuja Lamahewa

If you're trying to avoid duplicating the steps in the build, you could have 3 jobs set up to run at your different times, then have them all trigger the same job that starts/stops the environment. I don't think it's possible to do it all in one job. — Brendan

By default, Jenkins is not able to do what you want, but the Parameterized Scheduler plugin adds the functionality that you need. It allows you to specify multiple schedules with custom parameter values for each one, like this:

#lets run against the integration environment at 15 past the hour
15 * * * * % env=int
#run QA too
30 * * * % env=qa
