How to schedule an Airflow DAG every 5 minutes starting from 2nd minutes of the hour? - cron

I need to schedule my Airflow DAG to run on every 5 minutes, starting from 2nd minute of the hour. Sample execution times would be,
12:02 AM, 12:07 AM, 12:12 AM, 12:17 AM,... etc.
What would be the cron-like configuration for this requirement?

Using an expression of 2/5 * * * * seems to do the trick.
The “next” times with this expression in crontab.guru line up nicely with what you are aiming for:
at 2023-01-16 13:57:00
then at 2023-01-16 14:02:00
then at 2023-01-16 14:07:00
then at 2023-01-16 14:12:00
then at 2023-01-16 14:17:00

Cron expression starting at a fixed time

I can't figure out how to make a cron expression that starts at 11:45 and then runs every 25 minutes every friday between 11:45 and 22:00.
This is the best i could do but i can't make it start at 11:45.
*/25 11-22 * * 5

How to run a Cron job for every 5 mins for only 30 mins?

I want to run a Cron job for every 5 mins for 30 mins, starting at 22:30 till 23:00.
To do this I wrote it like this
0 30,0/5 22 ? * * *
If you put this in https://crontab.cronhub.io/
It will say:
At 30 minutes past the hour and every 5 minutes, starting every hour, between 10:00 PM and 10:59 PM
But when I looked at the logs, I see it started the run at 22:00 till 22:55.
Why is this happening? Also, how can I make it work like the way I want it to.

Cron expression for Databricks schedule job

I need to schedule a job in databricks that should run at 6am, 6.15, 6.30, 6.45, 7, 7.15, 7.30, 7.45 and 8am every day.
I am using below expression however it is not running at 8am. Is there anyway we can achieve this?
0 0,15,30,45 06,07 ? * *
This is expected behaviour from cron expression. As per your requirement, you need to write separate cron expression for the 08:00 as follows:
Note that some scheduling requirements are too complicated to express
with a single trigger - such as “every 5 minutes between 9:00 am and
10:00 am, and every 20 minutes between 1:00 pm and 10:00 pm”. The
solution in this scenario is to simply create two triggers, and
register both of them to run the same job.
This will run from 6.00 until 7.45, every 15 minutes:
* 0/15 06-07 * * *
If you want it to run until 08:00 then you have to create two triggers and register both if them to run the same job.
* 0/15 06-07 * * *
* 0 08 * * *
Reference: Databricks uses Quartz Cron triggers. Databricks – Cron Triggers
Hope this helps.
Run twice a day at 10:00 and 18:00
**0 0 10,18/12 * * ?**

How to schedule intervals and start at certain date and time with Azure CRON Expression

We need to produce Azure CRON Expression to start job at certain date between a start and end time at intervals of hours or minutes.
So say if I want the job to run every 30 mins starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my expression should go like below?
0 30/30 7-13 * * *
And to run every 2 hours starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my my expression should go like below?
0 30 7-13/2 * * *
Is it possible to achieve these with Azure CRON at all? If not what's my alternative?
The CRON Expressions are not Azure specific but CRON specific.
First you need to get deep into the cron and understand how it works and what does the cron expression mean here. Then you can use tools like CRONTab Guru here to get to your expression.
To get to something that might be the one you search for:
0,30 7-13 * * *
This expression is read:
“At minute 0 and 30 past every hour from 7 through 13.”
Which is basically every 30 minutes starting at 07:00 and ending at 13:30.
You can give yourself a try with the CronTab Guru and find the best suiting formula for you.

Quartz Cron expression with custom hours

I want to write a quartz cron expression that will fire my trigger in the following times:
7:40 AM, 1 PM, 6 PM.
I know that I can do this:
0 0,40 7,13,18 ? * 2-6 (to run it MON - FRI every day in the month)
But the problem is that it will actually run at 7:00, 7:40, 13:00, 13:40, 18:00, 18:30.
Please show me a best practice to such issue.
Thanks,
Steve
