I’m not talking about the coding part, but cron expressions always confused me! 😅 If you’ve been there too, don’t worry—you don’t have to! 🙌
Cron Expression Format: A cron expression follows this structure: 🕒 * * * * * → Minute Hour Day Month DayOfWeek
🔹 Minute (0-59) 🔹 Hour (0-23) 🔹 Day of Month (1-31) 🔹 Month (1-12 or JAN-DEC) 🔹 Day of Week (0-6 or SUN-SAT, where 0 = Sunday)
Common Cron Expressions: ✅ Every minute → * * * * * ✅ Every 5 minutes → */5 * * * * ✅ Every hour → 0 * * * * ✅ Every day at midnight → 0 0 * * * ✅ Every Monday at 8 AM → 0 8 * * 1 ✅ Every 1st of the month at 12 AM → 0 0 1 * *
Less Common but Super Useful: 🔹 Every 5 minutes between 9 AM - 5 PM → */5 9-17 * * * 🔹 Every 3rd Monday at 7 AM → 0 7 * * 1#3 🔹 Last day of the month at 11 PM → 0 23 L * * 🔹 Every leap year on Feb 29 at midnight → 0 0 29 2 *
