Cron Parser FAQ and Usage Guide
What is Cron?
Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix/Linux systems that automatically executes tasks at specified times. Cron expressions consist of 5 or 6 fields, each defining when to execute.
Cron expression format?
Standard 5-field format:
- Minute: 0-59
- Hour: 0-23
- Day of Month: 1-31
- Month: 1-12
- Day of Week: 0-7 (0 and 7 are Sunday, 1 is Monday)
Example: 0 9 * * 1 = Every Monday at 9 AM
Special character meanings?
- *: All values (e.g., * * * * * = every minute)
- ,: Value list (e.g., 1,15,30 = days 1, 15, 30)
- -: Range (e.g., 1-5 = from 1 to 5)
- /: Step (e.g., */5 = every 5)

How is timezone handled?
This tool calculates next execution times based on the selected timezone. Actual cron jobs run according to the server's timezone settings, so check your server timezone.
Is my data safe?
Yes! All calculations happen only in your browser. Your cron expressions are never sent to any server and are not stored anywhere.
