💡 Pro Tips
✓
A cron expression has 5 fields: minute hour day month weekday — in that order.
✓
Use * to mean 'every' in any field: * * * * * means 'every minute of every day'.
✓
Use , to list multiple values: 0 9,17 * * * runs at 9am and 5pm daily.
✓
Use - for ranges: 0 9-17 * * * runs at the top of every hour from 9am to 5pm.
✓
Use / for step values: */15 * * * * runs every 15 minutes.
✓
/etc/cron.d files use the same syntax with an additional username field before the command.
✓
Test your cron expressions before deploying — one misplaced field can delete your database at 3am.
