Common questions about the Cron Expression Builder
A cron expression is a string of five fields separated by spaces that define a schedule for automated tasks. The fields represent minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12), and day of week (0-7, where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday). Cron expressions are used in Unix-like systems, Linux servers, and many programming languages to schedule recurring tasks.
