Cron Syntax Usage

InfraLynx currently uses a five-field cron format:

minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week

Supported patterns in the bootstrap scheduler:

  • *
  • exact numbers
  • comma-separated values
  • ranges such as 8-18
  • stepped wildcards such as */15
  • stepped ranges such as 1-10/2

Examples:

  • 0 6 * * * runs daily at 06:00 UTC
  • */15 * * * * runs every 15 minutes
  • 0 9 * * 1-5 runs weekdays at 09:00 UTC

Unsupported in this chunk:

  • named months or weekdays
  • six-field cron with seconds
  • non-UTC schedule execution
