About Cron Expressions
- Cron expressions are strings used to schedule tasks to run at specific times.
- Basic format:
minute hour day month weekday(5 fields separated by spaces). - Asterisk (*) means "every" - e.g., * in minutes means every minute.
- Slash (/) specifies increments - e.g., */5 in minutes means every 5 minutes.
- Comma (,) specifies multiple values - e.g., 1,15 in day of month means 1st and 15th.
- Hyphen (-) specifies ranges - e.g., 1-5 in weekday means Monday to Friday.
- Special characters: L for last, W for weekday, # for nth weekday of month.
- This tool works entirely in your browser - your expressions never leave your computer.
- Use the visual builder to create expressions or paste existing ones to understand their meaning.
