Cron syntax reference

A standard cron expression has five space-separated fields, in order: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12), and day of week (0-6, where 0 is Sunday).

Day-of-month and day-of-week together

If both the day-of-month and day-of-week fields are restricted (not *), standard cron matches a date if it satisfies either one — not both. For example 0 0 1 * 1 runs both on the 1st of every month and every Monday.

FAQ

Does this run in a specific timezone?

Next-run times are computed against your browser's local time, same as most cron daemons use the system's configured timezone.
