0 9 * * 1-5Questions
What are the five fields?
Minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week, in that order. For example, 0 9 * * 1-5 means 09:00 on weekdays.
What do *, comma, dash and slash mean?
* means every value, a comma lists values (1,15), a dash is a range (1-5) and a slash is a step (*/10 means every tenth).
What happens if I set both day of month and day of week?
In standard cron, the job runs when either matches. So 0 12 13 * 5 runs at noon on the 13th and on every Friday.
Which time zone are the run times in?
Your browser's time zone, shown above the list. A server reads the schedule in its own time zone, which is often UTC, so check yours.
Does it support six or seven fields, or @daily?
No. It covers the standard five-field format used by Linux crontab and most schedulers. Some services add seconds or a year, so check their documentation.
