Laravel cron job every day except weekends

Question

I'm using laravel 4 and i need to execute script every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 16:00h. Right now im using method dailyAt(16:00), but i dont want to script execute at Suturday and Sunday. My command looks like this in Kernel.php:

$schedule->command("script")->dailyAt("16:00")->sendOutputTo("NUL");

Simple way is checking day in week and execute script for weekdays only https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4802335/checking-if-date-is-weekend-php — Tuan Duong, Mar 05 '18 at 08:08
I left script to run every day at 16:00 and in code i wrote to check if is Sut or Sun so script wont be executed. — fr33jumper, Mar 05 '18 at 10:20

$schedule->command("script")->weekdays("16:00")->sendOutputTo("NUL");

This one is from Monday to Friday. Take a look at laravel documentation for task scheduling for more Info!!!

The correct way to limit tasks to weekdays is to chain weekdays() method. Like:

$schedule->command("script")->weekdays()->dailyAt("16:00")->sendOutputTo("NUL");
