Understanding Cron Syntax
A cron expression consists of 5 fields that define when the job should run:
- Minute (0-59) - The minute of the hour
- Hour (0-23) - The hour of the day (24-hour format)
- Day of Month (1-31) - The day of the month
- Month (1-12) - The month of the year
- Day of Week (0-6) - The day of the week (0=Sunday)
Special Characters
- * (Asterisk) - Matches all values (every minute, every hour, etc.)
- , (Comma) - List separator (e.g., 1,15 for 1st and 15th)
- - (Hyphen) - Range (e.g., 1-5 for Monday through Friday)
- / (Slash) - Step values (e.g., */5 for every 5 minutes)
