• Multiple times — every day at 9am and 5pm
• Days — every weekday, weekend, every monday, mon through fri
• Lists — every monday, wednesday and friday at 8am
• Exclusions — every weekday at 9am except thursday, excluding fridays, but not monday
• Intervals — every 5 minutes, every 2 hours, every hour at minute 30
• Monthly — on the 15th at noon, first of the month at midnight, every month on the 1st
• Months — every january 1st at 9am

Limitations (standard 5-field cron)

• One expression = one schedule. Complex combos like “9am on weekdays and noon on weekends” need two jobs.
• No holidays, “last weekday of month”, or “every other Tuesday” — use the Cron Builder for custom fields.
• “Last day of month” needs Quartz/L syntax — not supported here.
• Multiple times must share the same minute (e.g. 9:00 and 17:00, not 9:15 and 17:30).

Try: every weekday at 9am except thursdays · every mon wed fri at 8:30 · every day at 9am and 5pm · every 15 minutes · on the 1st of every month at midnight
