I have a job running in spring boot and I want to run it every 30 minutes between 12 AM and 8 AM starting at 12 AM. I am struggling to figure out the cron-expression that can be used to achieve this.
This is the cron you described: * 0/30 0-8 ? * *

In my Spring boot app, I have a task that runs every 5 minutes like this:
#Scheduled(cron="* 5 * * * *", zone="Europe/Paris")
public void sendPlanningDeadlineEmail() {
// Some code
}
It's working fine in my local environment. But when it's deployed in Heroku server, the task is not executed.
Some ideas ?
I think you cron expression is off. Your cron expression means: every minute 5 (so 01:05, 02:05, 03:05 etc.).
Try
0 */5 * * * *
See official docs.
The cron expression you are using is incorrect because if you are using a fixed value at minute place, it should be with fixed value of hour like 0 30 1 ? * * * to run at 1.30 am everyday.
If you want to schedule the task to run every 5 mintute use the below expression
0 */5 * ? * *
this means run At second :00, every 5 minutes starting at minute :00, of every hour.
I have a job that gets submitted every hour at 15 minutes past each hour via a Spring cron expression. A requirement has come up where this job is to not run at 12:15 am and 1:15 am on a Sunday morning.
My question is ... does cron support this kind of scenario where a job is to run every hour at 15 minutes past the hour except for 12:15 am and 1:15 am on a Sunday? Below is the expression that prevents it from running at 12:15 am and 1:15 am every day and it needs to be adjusted to only not run on Sunday at those times.
#Scheduled(cron = "0 15 2-23 * * ?")
Hopefully the above is clear. If not, please let me know and I will provide additional information.
Thank you in advance.
If it is wanted to run the job two specific days, it is possible to write the days together with comma.
Example: #Scheduled(cron = "0 15 2-23 * * SUN,MON)
Additionally, if you want to include all weekdays MON-FRI can be used:
Example: #Scheduled(cron = "0 15 2-23 * * MON-FRI)
Try
#Scheduled(cron = "0 15 2-23 * * SUN")
I have a spring batch application and i am using CRON to set how often this application runs. But the problem i am running into is that i want to run the job on specific hours
3 am
7 am
11 am
3 pm
7 pm
11 pm
As you can see it is every 4 hours but starts at 3 am so i cannot use */4 in the hours section of the timing format as this would start the job at 4am
I have also tried '3,7,11,15,19,23' in the hours section but this does not work either (guessing it only works in the minutes section). Does someone know how i can do this?
Use
#Scedule(cron="0 0 3/4 * * ?")
The Pattern x/y means: where <timepart> mod y = x
or
#Scedule(cron="0 0 3,7,11,15,19,21 * * ?")
According to the Quartz Cron Trigger Tutorial:
The '/' character can be used to specify increments to values. For
example, if you put '0/15' in the Minutes field, it means 'every 15th
minute of the hour, starting at minute zero'. If you used '3/20' in
the Minutes field, it would mean 'every 20th minute of the hour,
starting at minute three' - or in other words it is the same as
specifying '3,23,43' in the Minutes field. Note the subtlety that
"/35" does *not mean "every 35 minutes" - it mean "every 35th minute
of the hour, starting at minute zero" - or in other words the same as
specifying '0,35'.
0 0 3,7,11,15,19,23 * * ?
Fires for 0 minute starting at 3am and ending at 23:00 pm every day.
judging by the two answers above the error i was making was i was keeping the apostrophe at the start and end of my hours... very silly
i managed to solve this by using 3-23/4 for the hour as this starts from 3am and then every other fourth hour (just a different way of doing it to the other answers)
I would like to schedule a cron job at 5am and 1830
I tried
0,30 5,18 * * *
but this actually run four times a day at
0500
0530
1800
1830
Can I set up cron to do this? I am using spring to run this cron job so if I cant do it using standard cron can I do it another way?
Thanks
You need to schedule it with two lines:
0 5 * * *
30 18 * * *
There is no way to specify some minutes/hours combination: if you define two couples of them, all combinations will be performed.
I have a spring application that uses quartz cron trigger. I have given the following for frequency 0 0/20 * * * ?.....once every 20 min. But i want the first one to run immediately. Right now, when I start the application, it runs after 20 min. I was hoping it would run asap and then after 20 min.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you want to use an interval trigger (SimpleTrigger in Quartz can do the job).
The CronTrigger wants you to specify the minutes at which to run.
So your trigger schedule says: start at 0 minutes, and run every 20 minutes after that until the hour is over. Then start at 0 again.
But with the SimpleTrigger, you say - start now and run every 20 minutes.
Here is a tutorial on SimpleTrigger:

Here is a tutorial on CronTrigger:

You don't need CRON expression (and Quartz at all!) to run given code every 20 minutes. Just use fixed rate (Spring built-in):
#Scheduled(fixedRate=20 * 60 * 1000)
That's it! By default first invocation happens immediately, second after 20 minutes. Since Spring 3.2 you can even say initialDelay=10000 to run for the first time after exactly 10 seconds.
