Cron expression isn't working as intended for spring boot - spring

I wan't to have a method run every sunday at 1:30 PM so far I can get thing to run like every 10 minutes or at 1:30 every day, but now specific day
Here is what I have so far
/**
* Fires at 1:30 PM sundauy
*/
#Scheduled(cron = "0 30 13 * 1 ?")
fun sendNotifications() {
}
I think the problem is in the day of month field possibly? or sunday isn't 1 indexed. I see in other con implementations its 0.

the 5th field is used for "month" while 6th field is for "day of week" (see here and here), so your expression ("0 30 13 * 1 ?") will fire your method at "13:30 of every day in January".
weekday names can be given as the first three letters of the English names. in order to schedule a method to run "every sunday at 13:30" this expression can be used:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 30 13 ? * SUN")

Spring Scheduler to run at different timings on a single day

I have a requirement where my scheduler has to run for every hour between 9 AM to 12 PM everday and then it runs once by 3PM and 5 PM respectively.
How can i make my CRON expression to work according to the requirement
So far i have tried with below cron expression
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
But that runs for every hour from 9 AM - 12 PM
How can i modify it to make it run once by 3 PM and 5 PM also.
I have tried by combining two cron expressions like below but that dint work.
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *, 0 0 3 * * *")
Can i give 2 cron expressions through 2 #Scheduled like below
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
public void myMethod() {}
Would that be a feasible solution?
Can anybody help me with this?
#Schedules annotation can be used to set multiple calendar-based timer expressions.
This annotation will get rid of the redundancy of writing the same
method multiple times.
In the following example, the first expression sets a timer to expire on the last day of every month. The second expression sets a timer to expire every Friday at 11:00 PM.
#Schedules ({
#Schedule(dayOfMonth="Last"),
#Schedule(dayOfWeek="Fri", hour="23")
})
public void doPeriodicCleanup() { ... }

Spring scheduled task cron expression validation

I'm writing a scheduled task that need to run every 1st Saturday of each month.
I came up with this:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 23 1-7 * SAT")
// Runs on 1st Saturday of each month at 23:00
public void CleanUpScheduledTask() {
}
How did I come uo with this:
0 0 23 means at 11:00 PM everyday
1-7 * means between 1-7 every month
SAT Saturdays
How do you suggest to make sure that the above expression is valid? how I test such functionalities?
Thanks for the help.
1. Building Cron Expression
Using the Spring cron job expression
#Scheduled(cron = "[Seconds] [Minutes] [Hours] [Day of month] [Month] [Day of week] [Year]")
NB year field is optional
# used to specify day of the week and week the task should start.
eg first Saturday of every month(7#1)
? represents no specific value and can be used in either the day of month or day of week field
* represents all values
hence cron expression becomes
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 23 ? * 7#1")
2. Testing Cron Job
use Awaitility dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.awaitility</groupId>
<artifactId>awaitility</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
-using Spring Integration testing
#SpringJUnitConfig(CleanScheduler.class)
public class CleanSchedulerUnitTest {
#Autowired
private CleanScheduler cleanScheduler;
#Test
void cleanUpScheduledTaskShouldReturnSuccess() {
//Act
cleanScheduler.cleanUpScheduledTask();
//Assertions
}
}
You can use an online Cron generator like https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html to generate cron expressions or to describe what you posted.
0 0 0,23 ? * 7#1 * should be described and run At second:00, at minute:00, at 00 am and 23pm, on the 1st Saturday of the month, every month.

This cron 0 0 0 30 * * *. Does it run in February? Spring schedule

I have a cron with this expresion #Scheduled(cron = "0 0 0 30 * * *").
Does it run when February is finishing?
Thanks for your help
My solution:
Expresion February
cron = "0 0 0 28 2 *"
Rest of the year
cron = "0 0 0 30 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 *"
Short answer: NO
First, check out this website, it will calculate up the next 500 dates that your cron expression covers. Running your cron expression doesn´t cover february (I changed a little because it was invalid at first).
Second, it might be easier to execute this task on the 1st of every month. Check if possible in your business logic.
Third, if you need it on the last day of month, check this post. First answer pretty much covers every possible month.
Last, if you really need it on every 30 except february, try this to cover february and your other cron to the rest of the year:
0 0 0 28 2 ? *

Cron Expression convert to Spring Format

I found out that Spring uses its own cron expression format. The thing is, I got an app where the user can input some cron expression to schedule a task so I'd like to take that cron expression and use with CronTrigger.
Is there any way to convert a normal cron expression into a Spring format?
You can refer to CronSequenceGenerator by Spring.
Date sequence generator for a Crontab pattern, allowing clients to specify a pattern that the sequence matches.
The pattern is a list of six single space-separated fields: representing second, minute, hour, day, month, weekday. Month and weekday names can be given as the first three letters of the English names.
Example patterns:
"0 0 * * * *" = the top of every hour of every day.
"*/10 * * * * *" = every ten seconds.
"0 0 8-10 * * *" = 8, 9 and 10 o'clock of every day.
"0 0 6,19 * * *" = 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM every day.
"0 0/30 8-10 * * *" = 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30 every day.
"0 0 9-17 * * MON-FRI" = on the hour nine-to-five weekdays
"0 0 0 25 12 ?" = every Christmas Day at midnight

Spring Scheduled cron job

I need two cron jobs and I am really not sure if I am doing right. One con job should run every 01.01.xxx at 01:00 o'clock and the other should run every night at 01:00.
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 01 01 01 ?") // every year 01.01 at 01:00 o'clock
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 01 * * *") // very day at 01:00 o'clock
Are these the correct expression?
Yes.
The pattern is a list of six single space-separated fields: representing second, minute, hour, day, month, weekday. Month and weekday names can be given as the first three letters of the English names.
Every day syntax is "sec min hour * * *"
Once a year syntax is "sec min hour day_of_month month ?"
(Normally "01" is written as "1")
