Crontab Generator FAQ
What do the five fields in a cron expression mean?
They are minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week, in that order. '0 2 * * *' runs every day at 2:00 AM.
How do I run a cron job every 5 minutes?
Use '*/5 * * * *'. The */5 means every fifth minute.
Which time zone does cron use?
Cron uses the server's time zone unless your system is configured otherwise, so check it before scheduling.
