Frequently asked questions
What is a cron expression?
A cron expression is a five-field string that schedules recurring jobs on Unix-like systems. Fields are minute, hour, day-of-month, month, and day-of-week.
Does this support seconds or year fields?
This builder uses the standard five-field POSIX cron syntax. Quartz/AWS variants with six or seven fields are not parsed here.
How accurate are the next-run times?
Times are computed in your browser using your local timezone. For server jobs, confirm your host runs in UTC or the expected zone.
