Frequently asked questions
What is the cron expression for "every hour"?
0 * * * * — Every hour.
What do the five fields in a cron expression mean?
In order: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12), and day of week (0-6, where 0 is Sunday). An asterisk means "every" value for that field.
What timezone does a cron job run in?
It depends on the system running it — most servers default to UTC or the system's local timezone. Always confirm your scheduler's configured timezone, since it isn't part of the cron expression itself.
