Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 5 fields mean?expand_more
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). An asterisk means "every" for that field.
What happens when both day-of-month and day-of-week are set?expand_more
This is a classic POSIX cron quirk: when both fields are restricted (not "*"), the job runs if EITHER condition matches, not only when both match simultaneously. This tool follows that same standard behavior.
What timezone are the "next run" times shown in?expand_more
Your browser's local timezone. Most cron daemons run in the server's configured timezone (often UTC), so double-check your server's timezone setting when deploying.
