Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cron expression?
A cron expression is a string of 5 fields (minute, hour, day, month, weekday) that defines a schedule for automated tasks on Unix systems.
What does */5 * * * * mean?
It means "every 5 minutes, every hour, every day, every month, every weekday" — so the task runs every 5 minutes around the clock.
