Run it every DAY, every 6 HOURS. :)
6 == 18?

My question is, why 18 hours? Perhaps if the problem were better
defined, we could provide a better solution.
Because that's what the OP wants to do? The problem is perfectly well-defined: Run a task every 18 hours. There's no ambiguity, is there?
Naturally, if you can redefine the problem arbitrarily, nothing's hard!
