Cron expression explainer

Read any cron expression in plain words and see when it will run next.

How it works

The five fields are minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week. Each can be a value, a list, a range or a step like */15.

Questions

Which time zone does cron use?

The server’s, unless your scheduler sets one. The next runs here use your browser’s time zone.

What if both day fields are set?

Classic cron runs when either matches, not both.
