How to use

  1. 1Enter the expression: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.
  2. 2Read the plain-English description.
  3. 3Check the next run times and the expanded fields.

Minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day of month (1–31), month (1–12 or JAN–DEC) and day of week (0–7 or SUN–SAT; 0 and 7 are Sunday). A sixth field at the start is read as seconds, a seventh at the end as the year.

OR, as in standard cron: "0 0 1 * MON" runs on the 1st and on every Monday. Put * in one of the two fields to restrict by the other only.

Your browser's. Servers run cron in their own zone, often UTC. On daylight-saving days, times inside the skipped hour do not occur.

Yes, including ?, L, LW, nW, n#k and nL. Quartz numbers weekdays 1–7 from Sunday, unlike cron's 0–6; names such as MON-FRI avoid the difference.
