Cron expression to start a job the third tuesday of the month

I would like to start a job the third tuesday of the month at 03am
I try this : 0 3 15-21 * 2
crontab.guru says : At 03:00 on every day-of-month from 15 through 21 and on Tuesday
But we are today 11/24/2022 and next run is for 2022-11-29 03:00:00
I can't figure out why.

Cron expression at 8:00 and 16:30 from monday to friday

How can I write a CRON expression that will invoke Azure WebJob Monday through Friday at 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM?
You can have a job triggering at 8AM and 16PM Monday through Friday using
0 0 8,16 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *
If you definitely need 16:30, you will need 2 CRON triggers.
0 0 8 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *
0 0 16 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *
You can check your CRONs HERE.
As mentioned in this existing question, Single CRON is possible if the minute triggering is the same.
Recently I have used this and it worked for me:
0 3 * * 1-5
The above format is basically-
(min) (hr) (day in month) (month) (day in week)

Cron Expression for every second Monday of the month (for Hangfire)

I am trying to create recurring job in hangfire that runs, once a month at the second Monday, something like this:
1. Monday, May 14, 2018 8:00 AM
2. Monday, June 11, 2018 8:0 AM
3. Monday, July 9, 2018 8:00 AM
4. Monday, August 13, 2018 8:00 AM
5. Monday, September 10, 2018 8:00 AM
I have found this answer in stackoverflow, but since this is not a standard cron for scheduling hangifre jobs I can not use it.
My question is can I make an expression like this using the format
* * * * * (min hour day/month month day/week)
The following command seems to work for me.
0 8 ? * MON#2
Assuming that you want this job to execute at 8 AM the second Monday of each month, the # character allows you to specify the "nth" day of any given month. We use the ? character in the day/month row since we are fine with any numeric day as long as it is the second Monday.
Read more about special characters here: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.2.2/tutorials/crontrigger.html#special-characters
Below are cron for three different time for every 2nd Monday, Look into the pattern and make change in time as per your need day
For each second Monday of the month at 00:00 hrs, try below:
0 0 0 ? 1/1 MON#2 *
For each second Monday of the month at 10:30 hrs, try below:
0 30 10 ? 1/1 MON#2 *
For each second Monday of the month at 13:30 hrs, try below:
0 30 13 ? 1/1 MON#2 *
Here you go.
0 0 12 ? 1/1 MON#2 *
minute hour day month dayofweek command
0 0 8-14 * 2 /path/here
This will run a job every second tuesday of the month at midnight.
8-14 limits the occurance of tuesday to the second week in the month.
1-7 first week
8-14 second week
15-21 third week
22-28 forth week
29-31 fifth week

How to run a cron job on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday?

How can one run a cron job for every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm?
Here's my example crontab I always use as a template:
# Use the hash sign to prefix a comment
# +---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | +------------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | +---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | +------- month (1 - 12)
# | | | | +---- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
# | | | | |
# * * * * * command to be executed
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To run my cron job every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00PM, the result will be:
0 19 * * 1,3,5 nohup /home/lathonez/script.sh > /tmp/script.log 2>&1
source
Use crontab to add job
crontab -e
And job should be in this format:
00 19 * * 1,3,5 /home/user/somejob.sh
The rule would be:
0 19 * * 1,3,5
I suggest that you use http://corntab.com for having a very convenient GUI to create your rules in the future :)
This is how I configure it on my server:
0 19 * * 1,3,5 root bash /home/divo/data/support_files/support_files_inc_backup.sh
The above command will run my script at 19:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
NB: For cron entries for day of the week (dow)
0 = Sunday
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday
Use this command to add job
crontab -e
In this format:
0 19 * * 1,3,5 /path to your file/file.php
Use crontab to add job
0 0 9 ? * MON,WED,FRI *
The above expression will run the job at 9 am on every mon, wed and friday.
You can validate this in : http://www.cronmaker.com/
Have you tried the following expression ..?
0 19 * * 1,3,5

how to make cronjob to run at 6 am except sunday

how to set cron to run at 6 am daily except sunday ?
tried using this:
0 6 * * 1-6 /path to script
but it executes at 6 am and at 11:30am.
Is it correct to use 1-6 for day of week ?
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron
day of week (0 - 6) (0 to 6 are Sunday to Saturday, or use names; 7 is Sunday, the same as 0)
