Frequently Asked Questions
What is the order of fields in a cron expression?
Standard cron expressions consist of 5 fields: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12 or names), and day of week (0-7, where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday).
What are comma and dash characters used for in cron?
Dashes define ranges (e.g. 1-5 for Monday to Friday), while commas define a list of discrete schedule values (e.g. 0,12 for running at midnight and noon). Slashes define intervals (e.g. */10 for every 10 minutes).
