Time format

JaniWeb uses the Quartz Cron syntax to define complex job timings. This extended version of the classic Cron syntax consists of six or seven fields:

Quartz Cron syntax structure

S M H DoM MoY DoW [Y]
  1. Second (S): 0-59
  2. Minute (M): 0-59
  3. Hour (H): 0-23
  4. Day of month (DoM): 1-31
  5. Month of year (MoY): 1-12 or abbreviations like JAN, FEB
  6. Day of week (DoW): 1-7 (or SUN, MON, ...)
  7. Year (Y) (optional): 1970-2099

Special characters

  • *: Any value
  • ,: List of values (e.g. MON,WED,FRI)
  • -: Area (e.g. 1-5)
  • /: Increment (e.g. 0/5 for all 5 units)
  • ?: Any value, which is ignored in fields of conflict (only for DoM and DoW).

    Examples

    1. Every day at midnight: 
      0 0 0 * * ?
    2. Every Monday at 9:00 a.m: 
      0 0 9 ? * MON
    3. Every 5 minutes: 
      0 0/5 * * * ?
    4. On the first day of each month at 12:30 p.m.: 
      0 30 12 1 * ?

    Important differences to the classic Cron format

    • The field second is additionally available.
    • ? replaces * in fields with conflicts between DoM and DoW.
    • Supports more detailed timings by combining steps and lists.
