I need to run cron job every hour at first minute
I have already tried the following :
1> 0 * * * * ? *
2> 0 */1 * * * ? *
Unfortunately I did not get correct results
I need the job to start at first minute for every hour as the following :
0:01
1:01
2:01
3:01
4:01
.
.
23:01
end
Every hour at minutes 1
0 1 0/1 ? * * *
ref Cron Expression Generator
I am new to crontab, can someone just tell me how often this task goes.
Thanks.
0 8 * * *
Is it every 8 minutes?
It means every day at 8:00 am
You have to set
*/8 * * * * path to script
every 8 minut
I assumed that a cron expression that triggers every 5 minutes from 09:00 to 09:45 should be as simple as 0 0-45/5 9 * * ?. However, using this as a <cron-expression> in a Quartz.NET XML configuration file produces this error:
The value '0 0-45/5 9 * * ?' is invalid according to its datatype
My <trigger> is of the type <cron>. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: The full XML configuration of the trigger is as follows:
<trigger>
<cron>
<name>HealthCheckJobTrigger2</name>
<group>G</group>
<description>Run the job from 9:00 to 9:45 every 5 minutes</description>
<job-name>HealthCheckJob</job-name>
<job-group>G</job-group>
<misfire-instruction>SmartPolicy</misfire-instruction>
<cron-expression>0 0-45/5 9 * * ?</cron-expression>
</cron>
</trigger>
It does not make sense to specify a set of numbers at intervals. Instead, you should use this:
0 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 9 * * ?
i want to execute a script twice daily at 00:00 and 13:30 so i write :
0,30 0,13 * * *
it seems wrong for me, because like this, the script will fire at 00:00 , 00:30 , 13:00 and 13:30. Any idea ?
Try this-: 00 01,13 * * *
it will run at 1 A.M and 1 P.M
You can't do what you want in one entry, since the two minute definitions will apply for both hour definitions (as you've identified).
The solution is (unfortunately) use two cron entries. One for 00:00 and one for 13:30.
An alternative is perhaps to execute one script at 00:00. That script would execute your original script, then wait 13.5 hours and then execute that script again. It would be easy to do via a simple sleep command, but I think it's unintuitive, and I'm not sure how cron manages such long running processes (what happens if you edit the crontab - does it kill a spawned job etc.)
You CAN NOT do that with cron on a single line.
You have to create 2 separate lines like so:
# Will run "YourCommand" at 00:00 every day of every months
#Min Hours D of the M Month D of the Week Command
0 0 * * * YourCommand
# Will run "YourCommand" at 13:30 every day of every months
30 13 * * * YourCommand
Or, as a single line, you can run a command every x hours, like so:
# Will run "YourCommand" every 12 hours
0 */12 * * * YourCommand
or
# Will run "YourCommand" at 1am and 1pm every day
0 1,13 * * * YourCommand arg1 arg2
Try this out: 0 6,18 * * *
it will run at minute 0 past hour 6 and 18
Or you can try it out on cronguru
try ...
00,30 00,13 * * * [ `date +%H%M` == 1330 ] || [ `date +%H%M` == 0000 ] && logger "its time"
Try this out:
0 1,13 * * *
What the above code means:
Cron will run at minute 0 past hour 1 and 13
Sharing a screenshot from crontab.guru
30 0,13 * * * somecommand.sh
This is just purely an example, but you will see that this is a cron entry that will run at 0:30AM and then 1:30PM (13 is 1 in military time). Just comma separate the hours, or comma separate whatever section of the cron.
try this,
0 10 9/12 ? * *
At second :00, at minute :10, every 12 hours starting at 09am, of every day
Try this, Only if you have the same minutes for each schedule. This will run your job twice a day at 1:00 & 13:00
0 1,13 * * *

I need a cron-expression (0 0/60 * * * ?) to fire application every 12 hours (twice a day).
Use e.g. 0 0 3,15 * * ? That'll run a job at 3am and 3pm. That's twice a day, with 12 hours between.
You could use 0 0 0/12 * * ? which means every 12 hours. Here's some examples.
Some examples that fit your criteria:
30 */12 * * *
runs at 00:30:00 and 12:30:00 each day
0 3-15/12 * * *
runs at 03:00:00 and 15:00:00 each day
23 4,16 * * *
runs at 04:23:00 and 16:23:00 each day
