How cron scheduling works
A cron expression has five fields separated by spaces. A job runs when the current minute, hour, month and day all match. The day match is special: when both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, cron runs if either matches — a common source of surprises. Next-run times below are computed in your local timezone.
