Frequently asked questions

Which cron format does this use?

Standard 5-field POSIX cron: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. Vixie-style step (*/n), ranges (1-5) and lists (1,3,5) are all supported.

Are predicted run times accurate to my timezone?

Yes. Next-run calculation uses your browser's local clock, so the suggested times match what cron would do on a machine set to your timezone.

How can I run something every weekday at 9 AM?

Use '0 9 * * 1-5'. The first 0 means minute 0, 9 means 9 o'clock, the two * cover any day-of-month and any month, and 1-5 means Monday through Friday.
