FAQ

What's the difference between 5-field and 6-field cron?

Standard crontab has five fields — minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week; Quartz-style schedulers prepend a seconds field. Check which form your target system expects.

What if I set both day-of-month and day-of-week?

In standard crontab they are OR-ed: the job runs when either matches — a common configuration gotcha.
