// about this tool

Quartz is a popular Java job scheduling library. Its cron format extends the standard Unix cron with a mandatory seconds field and special characters: L (last), W (nearest weekday), and # (nth occurrence). A Quartz expression has 6 required fields — seconds, minutes, hours, day-of-month, month, day-of-week — and an optional year field.

// when to use

  • Decode a Quartz @Scheduled expression in a Spring Boot application
  • Understand what 0 0 0 L * ? means (midnight on the last day of every month)
  • Figure out the next run times for a Quartz job
  • Use the L/W/# specials to schedule the last Friday or first Monday of the month

// faq

How is Quartz cron different from standard Unix cron?
Quartz adds a mandatory seconds field at the beginning (Unix cron starts at minutes). Day-of-week numbering differs: Quartz uses 1=Sunday through 7=Saturday. Quartz also adds L (last), W (nearest weekday), and # (nth weekday) special characters. Finally, either day-of-month or day-of-week must be ? when the other is specified.
What does ? mean in Quartz cron?
? means "no specific value" and is used to avoid conflicts between day-of-month and day-of-week. For example, 0 0 0 15 * ? fires on the 15th regardless of weekday. You cannot specify both a day-of-month and a day-of-week — use ? for the one you do not care about.
