E.g., using an asterisk in the 4th field (month) indicates every month. -### Slash ( / ) +#### Slash ( / ) Slashes describe increments of ranges. For example `3-59/15` in the minute field indicate the third minute of the hour and every 15 minutes thereafter. The form `*/...` is equivalent to the form "first-last/...", that is, an increment over the largest possible range of the field. -### Comma ( , ) +#### Comma ( , ) Commas are used to separate items of a list. For example, using `MON,WED,FRI` in the 5th field (day of week) means Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. -### Hyphen ( - ) +#### Hyphen ( - ) Hyphens define ranges. For example, 2000-2010 indicates every year between 2000 and 2010 AD, inclusive. -### L +#### L `L` stands for "last". When used in the day-of-week field, it allows you to specify constructs such as "the last Friday" (`5L`) of a given month. In the day-of-month field, it specifies the last day of the month. -### W +#### W The `W` character is allowed for the day-of-month field. This character is used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day. As an example, if you were to specify `15W` as the value for the day-of-month field, the meaning is: "the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month." So, if the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger fires on Friday the 14th. If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger fires on Monday the 16th. If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it fires on Tuesday the 15th. However if you specify `1W` as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger fires on Monday the 3rd, as it does not 'jump' over the boundary of a month's days. The `W` character can be specified only when the day-of-month is a single day, not a range or list of days. -### Hash ( # ) +#### Hash ( # ) `#` is allowed for the day-of-week field, and must be followed by a number between one and five. It allows you to specify constructs such as "the second Friday" of a given month. Predefined cron expressions
