I want this endpoint to be hit every ten minutes apart from on sunday
I've tried
cron(5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * 1-6 *)
and
cron(0/10 * * * 1-6 *)
cron(5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * ? *) works, but WITH the days specified, either in this format or MON-SAT format, does not work and throws my serverless deploy
every 10 min Mon-Sat
cron(0/10 * ? * MON-SAT *)
reference Link : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/tutorial-scheduled-events-schedule-expressions.html
This expression will work for you:
cron(5/10 * ? * Mon-Sat *)
The reason for the ? in the Day-of-Month field is because:
You can't specify the Day-of-month and Day-of-week fields in the same cron expression. If you specify a value (or a *) in one of the fields, you must use a ? (question mark) in the other.
In addition to run it "on the fives" use 5/10 because:
The / (forward slash) wildcard specifies increments. In the Minutes field, you could enter 1/10 to specify every tenth minute, starting from the first minute of the hour (for example, the 11th, 21st, and 31st minute, and so on).

I configure the cron job in Cpanel, and it works when setting it to * * * * * , every minute.
However I dont want it to execute at the beginning of every minute, I want to specify an offset, like 7 seconds after the start of each minute.
I thought I would specify that by doing
*/7 * * * *
But that doesn't work, I think it executes every 7th minute. There is no setting for "seconds" in cpanel. There is only "Minute Hour Day Month Weekday".
So, is it possible to configure this?
have a look at this
* * * * * ( sleep 7 ; /path/to/executable param1 param2 )
I am trying to understand the crontab timing for the following :
00 */2 * * *
if I understood correctly , this runs every half hour , right ?
From crontab manual
Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. Following a range with "" specifies skips of the number’s value through the range.
For example, "0-23/2" can be used in the hours field to specify command execution every other hour (the alternative in the V7 standard is
"0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22"). Steps are also permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say "every two hours", just use "*/2".
This runs every two hours.
0 */2 * * *
Following runs every 30 minutes,
30 * * * *
I am able to schedule using this cron expression using nodejs cron-job every one hour (starting from "now").
But I need to set q cron every one hour starting from a specific time. E.g let's say starts from 3:30 AM. can this be done?
The / character allows you to give two expressions to a cron part. The first is a "starting at" argument and the second is "every X units". So, a cron that will run every hour, starting at 03:30 (I.e., at 03:30, 04:30, 05:30, etc.) would look like this:
0 30 3/1 * * * *
You can try this:
30 3/1 * * * * *
Just to add to Mureinik's answer, just "starting at" on the first argument is non-standard and it may not work with every cron. The standard format should be
startingAt-endingAt/forEvery
example: 30 3-23/1 * * *
As I have recently seen something like
*/1 * * * * ./script.py
I would like to know if it means the same as
* * * * * ./script.py
Yes, it does.
*/X means: every X minutes
* means: every minute
So all together */1 means exactly the same as *.
From man cron:
Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. Following a
range with /number specifies skips of the number's value through
the range. For example, 0-23/2'' can be used in the hours field to specify command execution every other hour (the alternative in the V7 standard is 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22'').
Steps are also permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say
every two hours'', just use */2''.
I am using Quartz Scheduler using Spring. I want to configure the same with following schedule:
Run Job Every 10 minutes starting NOW
I am using following expression for the same.
0 */10 * * * ?
I thought * in the minutes field would make it run the first minute, but it does not do that way. It runs the first 10th minutes from now and then every 10 minutes afterwards.
Can anybody please suggest me the reason for this behavior and the solution to my problem also?
0 0/10 * 1/1 * ? *
Please see : http://www.cronmaker.com/
check the minute your at now and add them as a list to your crontrigger. if you start the trigger at minute 12 for example add
0 2,12,22,32,42,52 * * * ?
as your cron expression
Edit:
Another solution would be to define a simpletrigger that repeats every ten minutes
SimpleTrigger trigger = new SimpleTrigger("myTrigger",
null,
new Date(),
null,
SimpleTrigger.REPEAT_INDEFINITELY,
10L * 60L * 1000L);
You can use something like
0 1-59/10 * * * ?
That will trigger the job at any minute and 10 minutes after that. I didn't try it but it looks right. :)
*/10 * * * *
Every 10 minutes starting from the moment you create the cron job, wether you prefer (user crontab, /etc/cron.d/, ...).
