i have to run a shell script as cron job
in VERY HALF HOUR but ONLY IN BETWEEN (morning 10.30 A.M to evening 6.30 A.M)
DAILY
means this cron job will be execute every half only within a scpecfic givine time
This will do:
30 10 * * * <your cronjob>
0,30 11-18 * * * <your cronjob>
Note you can also use the following for every 30 min:
*/30 11-18 * * * <your cronjob>

I have some schedules that serve to clean the DB at certain times, but I want to use cron to run these times but when I try to run them in the windows schedule I get the following error:
6 is not a valid position
at C:\laragon\www\Sis\vendor\dragonmantank\cron-expression\src\Cron\FieldFactory.php:46
42| case 4:
43| $this->fields[$position] = new DayOfWeekField();
44| break;
45| default:
> 46| throw new InvalidArgumentException(
47| ($position + 1) . ' is not a valid position'
48| );
49| }
50| }
1 C:\laragon\www\Sis\vendor\dragonmantank\cron-expression\src\Cron\CronExpression.php:154
Cron\FieldFactory::getField()
2 C:\laragon\www\Sis\vendor\dragonmantank\cron-expression\src\Cron\CronExpression.php:137
Cron\CronExpression::setPart("*")
And I do not have much experience with crons, as far as I know, it should take 6 asterisks and you specify in minutes, hours, days, months, how can I fix them?
This is the code:
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('S:LA')->cron('0 23 4 1 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LC')->cron('0 23 4 2 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LC')->cron('0 23 4 6 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LC')->cron('0 23 4 10 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LD')->dailyAt('00:00');
$schedule->command('S:LM')->monthlyOn(4, '23:00');
$schedule->command('S:LS')->mondays()->at('23:00');
$schedule->command('S:LSM')->cron('0 23 4 6 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LSM')->cron('0 23 4 1 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LT')->cron('0 23 4 1 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LT')->cron('0 23 4 3 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LT')->cron('0 23 4 6 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LT')->cron('0 23 4 9 * *');
$schedule->command('S:LT')->cron('0 23 4 12 * *');
}

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
So i have a cron job that runs and executes fine (hence why no path is shown) at:
*/15 * * * *
but I don't want that as it means it runs at every fifteen minutes past 0 of the hour according to crontab.guru which gives tasks run at 15,30 and 45 minutes.
This is actually what I want:
1/15 * * * *
which according to crontab.guru should begin the 15 minutes at 1 minute past the hour and run the tasks at 16, 31 and 46 minutes.
Now the problem is when I crontab -e to set up the cron job of 1/15 * * * * I get a bad minute error from crontab, yet as i say in my opening lines using */15 * * * * returns no error from crontab and the task is executed. Why is this?.
You could do 1,16,31,46 * * * * to run the jobs at 1, 16, 31 and 46 minutes every hour.
I have one spring job to run every 30 minutes:-
Suppose current time is 1:55 pm, now it should run at 2:25 pm, 2:55pm, 3:25 pm & so on.
This cron expression is not working for me:-
"0 0/30 * * * ?"
This timespec would run your job on the 25th and 55th minute of every hour, every day:
25,55 * * * *
#Scheduled(cron="0 0/30 * * * ?") will trigger first when it reaches any *:30 or *:00. So in your case it will trigger at 2:00pm, 2:30pm, 3:00pm and so on.
If you want your job to run every 30minutes. You can use fixedRate or fixedDelay.
#Scheduled(fixedRate = 1800000) will first trigger your job at 1:55pm. If you want to skip first iteration you can add initialDelay=1800000.
25,55 * * * * your command >/dev/null 2>&1
You can easly generate a crontab via this website, even with no experience.
The problem is that you have to know the starting time of your cron job.

now I have this configuration my my scheduler:
<task:scheduled ref="task" method="run" cron="0 45 22 * * *" />
when this task is executed ? and how I can change it to do this task every minute
This task is executed at 22:45:00 every day, every week, every month.
To execute a task every minute, use
0 * * * * *
The accepted answer is correct for spring. Other than that, one should be careful whether the target system uses 6 or 5-digits cron.
With 5-digits-crons
0 * * * * schedules to be run "at minute 0" (hence every hour).
The correct answer in this case should be either
* * * * *
or
*/1 * * * *
