Morning!
I have a issue with this cron schedule expression:
* 14 8-15 * 5
I want to execute a flow, only the friday, between 8 day and 15 day, but finally, my flow is executed all days between 8 day and 15 day…
I test with other expressions, like:
* 14 * * 5#2
But doesnt work…
BR!
This is where chatGPT came up with. Let me know if that works for you
To create a cron expression that only runs on Fridays between the 8th and 15th days of each month at 14:00, we need to carefully set each part of the expression.
Here’s the correct cron expression:
0 14 8-15 * 5
Explanation:
• 0: Run at the 0th minute of the hour (i.e., exactly at 14:00).
• 14: Run at 14:00 (2 PM).
• 8-15: Run only on the 8th through the 15th days of the month.
• *: Every month.
• 5: Only on Fridays (5 represents Friday in cron syntax).
This expression should ensure the flow only runs on Fridays between the 8th and 15th of each month at 14:00.
thanks Bram, i know how crontab works.
The issue is that cron, work all the days, instead only for 8-15.
The Activepieces show that the format is correct, but doesnt work only 8-15 day.
If you make a test in your enviroment you can see that.
BR!.
This is a weird quirk of the cron standard, for some (historical?) reason the day-of-month and day-of-week fields are ORed instead of ANDed like the others.
For reference:
As far as I can tell there’s no way to do this with only a single cron expression.
