Running a cron job every minute is easy, running it at specific minutes past the hour is easy.
But is it possible to say "only between 1300 and 1400 run every 1 minute"?

That will (or would, since it has now been edited) run every minute between 1pm and 3pm – Quentin Sep 25 '11 at 7:07

Just use a * for the minute specifier.
* 13 * * * foo.sh

Quentin, you say @Ed Heal's answer will run every minute 1pm - 3pm, but your answer is the same. Am I missing something? – Steve Sep 25 '11 at 7:10
