What would the zero'th of a month mean in the following scheduler?
never or every day?
shops.import.cron.expression=0 5 0 * * ?
i see that it is at 5:00 am but I can't find any definition of what the 0th of a month means.

I need to write a cron expression as follows, Could some one help write it for me?Thanks
7:30 am, day 1-7(1st day-7th day in month), every month
By referring to this format
<second> <minute> <hour> <day-of-month> <month> <day-of-week> <year> <command>
The cron expression should be 0 30 7 1-7 * ?
I'm trying to write a crontab expression that will begin a specified period of time and run on an interval for a 24 hour period. For example I want the job to run every Thursday beginning at 4 PM and repeat every hour for 1 day. Is there a way to do this? Everything I have tried stops at the end of the day Thursday.
You need two crontab entries, one for the occurrences on Thursday and one for the occurrences on Friday.
For example (I have not tested this):
0 16-23 * * 4 your_command
0 0-15 * * 5 your_command
The fifth column is the day of the week, with Sunday=0. (Vixie cron also lets you specify the day of the week by name.)
I need a cron expression that will fire every second day excluding weekends.
Example:
The schedule starts on Monday. The schedule continues in the following manner:
(1st week) Monday>Wednesday>Friday
(2nd week) Tuesday>Thursday
(3rd week) Monday>Wednesday>Friday
(4th week) Tuesday>Thursday
Is that possible using only cron? I know a solution would be to run it every day and when it runs on weekend 'manually' prevent it from running.
Maybe something like could help...
* * 1-31/2 * mon-fri command.sh
That means, "At every minute on every 2nd day-of-month from 1 through 31 and on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday."

I will consider extended expression format so your query will looks like:
S M H DoM M DoW Y
0 0 10 1-31 * 1#1,3#1,5#1 *
This query can be understood as: Repeat at 10:00:00 every day of every month where day of week is (monday, wednesday, friday) and it's first week of month.
You would define such 4 queries (i'm considering that 1 in 1#3 is just monday and 3 is week number in month):
1.) 0 0 10 1-31 * 1#1,3#1,5#1 *
2.) 0 0 10 1-31 * 2#2,4#2 *
3.) 0 0 10 1-31 * 1#3,3#3,5#3 *
4.) 0 0 10 1-31 * 2#4,4#4 *
which runs the same command. But it won't work becouse of limitations of most of evaluators (as i guess).
If you are familiar with .NET, I made evaluator which handle such expressions correctly, but it's only evaluator so what you only receive are dates when your event should occur. There is no job sheduler integrated with it. Click
i want to set a cronjob in directadmin control panel and i have a question. if i set a job in this format:
05 21 * * * /home/backup.sh
my script will run only one time in a day at 21:05 OR every 5 miutes(12 times in an hour) and every day at 21:00 ?? i want to my cronjobs run's only one time in a day at 21:05! please help me
Your script will run at 21:50 every day.
See the file formats manpage for crontab:
$ man 5 crontab
The line parts before the command for your crontab are: (Below is from the manpage.)
The time and date fields are:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for "first-last".
And you will see this example even further below: (Below is also from the manpage.)
# run five minutes after midnight, every day
5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
man is your friend.
As per the cronjob set by you the first * means minutes, second * means Hour, third * means month, fourth * means day of the month and last * means day of the week. So if you set by
5 21 * * * it would run the job at 9:05pm minutes only.

What does this command mean in cron? How often will this run? When will it run? Will it run daily?
56 11 * * * /usr/sbin/update-file.sh
From crontab(5):
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
Thus, your line means to run /usr/sbin/update-file.sh every day at 11:56 AM.
Crontab format is: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, command.
So this will run /usr/sbin/update-file.sh at 11:56 AM every day.
