------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Special characters

*

Used to select all values within a field.

Ex:* in the minute field corresponds with every minute.

?

Used to specify something in one of the two fields in which the character is allowed, but not the other, (used for days of the week.

 

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                     *                  *                    10                         *                       ?

Ex:  If you want your trigger to fire on a particular day of the month, for example the 10th, but don't care what day of the week that happens to be, you could put "10" in the day-of-month field, and "?" in the day of the week field.

-

Used to specify ranges.

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                    *                10-12             *                             *                       *

Ex: 10-12 in the hour field means “the hours 10, 11 and 12”.

,

Used to specify additional values.

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                     *                  *                  *                             *               MON,WED,FRI

Ex: MON,WED,FRI in the day-of-week field means “the days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday”.

/

Used to specify increments.

 

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

0/15                 *                 *                  *                              *                       *

Ex: 0/15 in the seconds field means “the seconds 0, 15, 30, and 45”. And 5/15 in the seconds field means “the seconds 5, 20, 35, and 50".
You can also leave out the number before /, which is equivalent to having 0 before / .
1/3 in the day-of-month field means “fire every 3 days starting on the first day of the month”.

L

 

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                    *                   *                   L                              *                      *

The value L in the day-of-month field means “the last day of the month” - day 31 for January, day 28 for February on non-leap years. You can also specify an offset from the last day of the month, such as “L-3” which would mean the third-to-last day of the calendar month.

You cannot use L in the day-of-week field by itself, you always have to prefix it by a digit (0-7) or the short day notation (MON-SUN). This combination means “the last xxx day of the month” - for example “6L” or "SATL" means “the last Saturday of the month”.

W

Used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day.

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                     *                   *                15W                        *                       *

Ex: 15W in the value for the day-of-month field, means the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month:

If the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Friday the 14th.

If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 16th.

If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it will fire on Tuesday the 15th.

 

However if you specify 1W as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 3rd, as it will not ‘jump’ over the boundary of a month’s days. The ‘W’ character can only be specified when the value in the day-of-month field specifies a single day, not a range or list of days.

 

The 'L' and 'W' characters can also be combined in the day-of-month field to yield 'LW', which translates to *"last weekday of the month"*.

#

Used to specify “the nth” XXX day of the month.

Used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day.

<second>    <minute>    <hour>    <day_of_month>   <month>     <day_of_week>

, - * /             , - * /           , - * /          , - * ? / L W            , - * /               , - * ? / L #

*                       *                  *                 *                             *                      6#3

 

Ex: 6#3 in the day-of-week field means “the third Saturday of the month” (day 6 = Friday and “#3” = the 3rd one in the month).
Other examples: 2#1 is the first Tuesday of the month and 4#5 is the fifth Thursday of the month. Note that if you specify #5 and there is not 5 of the given day-of-week in the month, then no firing will occur that month.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example:

0 0* * * * = the top of every hour of every day.

*/10 * * * * * = every ten seconds.

0 0 8-10 * * * = 8, 9 and 10 o'clock of every day.

0 0 6,19 * * * = 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM every day.

0 0/30 8-10 * * * = 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30 every day.

0 0 9-17 * * MON-FRI= on the hour nine-to-five weekdays.

0 0 0 25 12 ?= every Christmas Day at midnight, no matter what weekday it is.
