 Preguntas frecuentes

What is the cron expression format?

A standard cron expression has five fields separated by spaces: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12 or JAN-DEC), and day of week (0-7 or SUN-SAT, where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday). Each field can contain a specific value, a wildcard (*) for any value, a range (1-5), a list (1,3,5), or a step value (*/5 for every 5 units).
How does the calculator handle timezones?

The calculator uses your browser's local timezone by default and also displays UTC times alongside. Cron expressions themselves are timezone-agnostic — the same expression fires at different absolute times depending on the server's timezone setting. This tool shows both perspectives so you can verify your schedule works correctly regardless of where your server is located.
What does */5 mean in a cron expression?

The */5 syntax means every 5th unit of that field. In the minute field, */5 means every 5 minutes (0, 5, 10, 15...). In the hour field, */5 means every 5 hours (0, 5, 10, 15, 20). You can also use step values with ranges: 1-30/5 means every 5th minute from minute 1 through 30 (1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26). Steps work on any field and are one of the most useful cron features for regular intervals.
