FAQ
What is crontab?
Crontab (cron table) is a Linux/Unix scheduler that runs commands or scripts at specified times automatically. It's commonly used for server maintenance, backups, and data collection.
How do I read cron expressions?
5 fields: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day (1-31), month (1-12), weekday (0-6, 0=Sunday). * means "every", */N means "every N", a number means "at that specific time".
Can I specify multiple values?
Yes. Use commas for multiple values (1,3,5), hyphens for ranges (1-5), and */N for intervals (*/10). Example: "0 9,18 * * 1-5" runs at 9 AM and 6 PM on weekdays.
