Frequently asked questions
What cron format is used?
The classic 5-field Unix format: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week. Example: "0 9 * * 1" runs at 09:00 every Monday.
How are day-of-month and day-of-week combined?
Following standard cron, if both fields are restricted, the job runs when either matches. If one is "*", only the other is checked.
Is Sunday 0 or 7?
Both are accepted: 0 and 7 mean Sunday. In descriptions the tool always shows Sunday.
