Quartz cron expression - cron

I need to write cron expression to run every working day at 13:15,16:00,22:00. I managed to write expression to schedule job at 13:00,16:00,22:00, but 13:15 is the problem? Expression is reading from a file.

Your cron expression must be like below
0 15 13 ? * *

How to setup cron expression c correctly for quartz job?

I'm trying to schedule a quartz job for a specific time on a day. This is the cron
expression:
0 20 18 ? * * *
It should fire on 18:20 every day, instead the next fire time show:
2021-08-29T08:20:00.000+00:00
Try this cron expression:
20 18 * * *
Also suggest this cron calculator site.

Cron expression with Fixed Delay

I want to write a Cron expression which runs with a fixed Delay (runs the command > then fixed delay > runs the command > fixed delay ...) of say 5 minutes. Is there a way to write a cron expression for this?
You can use this site to test your expressions:
crontab.guru 5 * * * *
Or if you use Spring for your application then you could use #Scheduled annotation where are fixedDelay property

run cron job between 00:00 - 00:02 - 04:00 - 23:59 on every hour

I want to run a cron job between 0:00am - 02:00am - 04:00am and 23:59am on every hour.
I want to know if this is the correct syntax.
0,0-59 0-2,4-23/1 * * *
Thanks!
No, your syntax is not correctly formatted.
You can use:
0 0 0/1,0-2 ? * *
This will run according to the following rules:
At second :00, at minute :00, every hour between 00am and 02am,
and every hour starting at 00am, of every day
You can check CRON syntax with an explanation at:Cron Expression Generator & Explainer.
Also, I think this site has a really good breakdown to help understand what each section of the CRON expression relates to.
Edit: I just noticed you had the second part about running at 23:59. For this you will need to set up a second CRON job:
0 59 23 * * ? *
Use Case: At 23:59:00pm every day

Azure WebJob using a Cron Expression is not executing

I have read the documentation.
The CRON expression is composed of 6 fields: {second} {minute} {hour}
{day} {month} {day of the week}.
Cron expressions such as 0/15 * * * * * work. This indicates that the job should run every 15 seconds.
Additionally, a cron expression such as works.
Now, I want to have my job run at, for example, 22:25... every day.
I tried: 0 25 22 * * * as well as * 25 22 * * *, but neither of them work, both showing n/a under the SCHEDULE.
Even 0 0 11 * * * fails to execute.
The only cron expression I have made work is 0/15 * * * * *.
Why do my cron expressions not work and how can I fix them to run ever day at 22:25?
Why do my cron expressions not work and how can I fix them to run ever day at 22:25?
I just test following format CRON and it works good on my side.
0 25 22 * * *
You could create a scheduled WebJob by creating a file named settings.job under the root folder of your WebJob or by setting the CRON in Azure portal when creating a WebJob.
If your WebJob didn't executed at 22:25. It maybe caused by the timezone on Azure WebJob is UTC±00:00. You could modify your scheduled time to meet your requirement.

CRON expression to schedule on hourly basis like e.g. 04:00, 10:00, 16:00, 22:00

I tried with * 4,10,16,22 * * * but didnt worked out throwing error while parsing the CRON expression.
I'm using CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule(CRON_EXPRESSION) method to schedule the job.
Please let me know is there anyother way apart from scheduling separately.
According to the below reference CronScheduleBuilder cant do that. Use the expression you wrote directly in the cron command without using CronScheduleBuilder.
