Cron expression for only for wednesday every after 2 hours - cronexpression

java - Spring, i want to crate cron expression to run every after 2 hours only on Wednesday till day end
0 0 0/2 * * WED *
mean cron should trigger every wednessday only for these times 2am, 4am, 6am, 8am,10am, 12pm, 2pm,4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm, 12pm
i don't have time long to wait and test can some one please confirm is it correct ?

Even though it is way to late i like to answer the question for other users.
Your CronExpression is invalid. You can check this here or here. The problem is: You cannot specify a day_of_month AND a day_of_week.
Cause you are setting a day_of_week you should skip day_of_month with a "?". Solution should be: 0 0 0/2 ? * WED *

Cron Scheduler - every quarter end third Sunday # 3:30 AM CST

Actually I am trying to schedule an application , which has to be run at
Cron expression to run application job for every end of quarter on 3rd Sunday at 3:30 AM CST
currently am using 0 */10 * ? * * - which runs for every ten minutes.
when I search on online ,this link https://crontab.guru/every-quarter
0 0 1 */3 * this would run for every quarter I guess.
But for my requirement , which I stated above, am not sure actually.
but , i referred some of the previous questions and some trial and error , I reached something like this 30 3 15-21 */3 SUN but am not sure. Please give your thoughts
OK .. for spring scheduler cron expression, below is my best bet
0 30 03 15-21 3,6,9,12 SUN
should work i think. tested partially. since, the above expression will run only on june.

Cron Expression for running job every 4 hours starting at 4pm . But should not run between 12am to 7am of the day

I am trying to create a Cron Expression for running job every 4 hours starting at 4pm, but should not run between 12am to 7am of the day.
So far I tried to do this but it does not work.
0 0 16/4 ? 0-2,7-23 * * *
This could be your cron expression.
0 0 16/4,20,8,12 ? * * *

How to write cron expression?

In mule, I need to poll once in 48 hours.
I wrote the cron expression 0 0 1/48 ? * * but it is running twice in 48 hours, i.e, once in 24 hours.
Can anybody suggest exact expression?
You can also make use of cron maker.
http://www.cronmaker.com/
You can use 0 0 0 1/2 * ? * to poll once every two days at 12 AM. The 3rd value from right can be used to specify that at what hour you want to poll once every two days.
One thing I can notice in the cron expression you are using is you are putting 1/48 at wrong position.
The cron expression has specific place for unit of time.
Minute Hour Day Month Weekday
if you want to execute the job every 48 hours you should something like this :
0 */48 * * *
or if you want to execute the job once in 2 days then you could use something like below:
0 0 */2 * *
Let me know if this is helpful for you.

how to write a complex quartz cron expression

i need to develop a web service, that will help the client to do some periodic job, the api will like this
void Dojob(int jobType, string cronExpression);
because the client/user will do anything the want, i just want to know does the cron expression support the situation below:
the job will fire in the following times:
from 9:10am to 10:50am trigger at every 8 minutes, every day.
from 9:00 to 10:00 maybe easier, but i still cannot find the correct cron Expression about 9:10am to 10:50am.
Not sure if you can do this using one cron expression, but you can using two.
eg
0 10,18,26,34,42,50,58 9 1/1 * ? *
0 6,14,22,30,38,46 10 1/1 * ? *
As sgmoore said, you cannot do this using 1 cron expression. You'll have to create 2 triggers each with different cron expressions to get this to work.
The first will be from 9:10 to 9:59 every 8 minutes which looks like this:
0 10-59/8 9 1/1 * ? *
The second will be from 10:00 to 10:50 every 8 minutes which looks like this:
0 0-50/8 10 1/1 * ? *
Just be warned that due to how cron expressions work, this will fire every 8 minutes restarting at the top of every hour, therefore firing at both 9:58 and 10:00 in this scenario

Cron Expression to be executed every n weeks

I am trying to write a Cron expression that triggers every n weeks.
I have thought about something like:
0 0 */21 * *
2013-09-01 00:00:00
2013-09-22 00:00:00
2013-10-01 00:00:00
2013-10-22 00:00:00
Per this Cron tester
But it triggers every 1st in addition to the 21st.
Ideas?
If you're using Quartz, then you may be able to accomplish that schedule with a SimpleTrigger instead:
Trigger trigger = newTrigger()
.withIdentity(triggerKey("myTrigger", "myGroup"))
.withSchedule(simpleSchedule()
.repeatHourlyForever(n * 7 * 24))
.startAt(...)
.build();
The '/' syntax specifies the increment during the period and not a repeat interval. Admittedly a subtle and confusing difference.
In this case there is only one available increment (21 days) during the 1 month period. The first number specifies the value to start with, in this case 0. Specifying '*' before the '/' is equivalent to specifying 0. So the job will only fire on the first day and at 21 days.
If you only want to fire the job once a month and not repeatedly then you could use the expression 0 0 21 * *.
If you want a job to trigger at a regular interval then you can use a Quartz SimpleTrigger with a repeatInterval specified.
