Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cron expression?
A cron expression is a string of 5 fields (minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week) that defines a schedule. It is used in Unix-like systems to schedule recurring tasks.
What do the 5 fields represent?
Minute (0-59), Hour (0-23), Day of month (1-31), Month (1-12 or JAN-DEC), Day of week (0-7, where 0 and 7 are Sunday, or SUN-SAT).
What special characters are supported?
* (any value), , (list separator), - (range), / (step). For example, */5 means every 5 units, 1-5 means 1 through 5, and 1,3,5 means at 1, 3, and 5.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all parsing runs in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Does this support 6-field or 7-field cron?
This tool supports the standard 5-field cron format (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week). Seconds and year fields are not supported.
