About this tool
Choose the dialect explicitly: Unix cron has five fields beginning with minute, while Spring Framework cron has six fields beginning with second. ByteMode never silently reinterprets one as the other and does not treat Spring as Quartz. Spring mode supports wildcards, ?, lists, ranges, steps, names, L, dL, and # through the local parser; W, LW, L-n, and restricting both day fields at once are not currently available. Macros, hashed fields, AWS syntax, and embedded commands are rejected.
Common uses
