Quartz cron vs Unix cron

Answer

Unix cron has five fields (minute hour day month weekday). Quartz has six or seven: seconds first and an optional year last. Quartz needs ? in one day field, adds L, W and #, and numbers weekdays 1-7 from Sunday, where Unix uses 0-7 with 0 and 7 both Sunday.

At 10:15 on Monday through Friday.

  1. 0
    Second (0-59)

    At second 0

  2. 15
    Minute (0-59)

    At minute 15

  3. 10
    Hour (0-23)

    Hour 10 (10:00–10:59)

  4. ?
    Day of month (1-31, ? L W)

    No specific value: the day-of-week field decides

  5. *
    Month (1-12 or JAN-DEC)

    Every month

  6. MON-FRI
    Day of week (1-7 or SUN-SAT (1 = Sunday), ? L # )

What to know

The example is 0 15 10 ? * MON-FRI: 10:15:00 every weekday. In Unix cron the same is 15 10 * * 1-5.

Spring's CronExpression takes six fields like Quartz but numbers weekdays 0-7 like Unix (0 and 7 = Sunday) and does not require ?. AWS EventBridge takes six fields with minutes first and a year last, and requires ?. Day names (MON, SUN) mean the same everywhere, which makes them the safest choice.
