FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are cron fields standard?
Most tools use the common five-field minute/hour/day/month/weekday form. Confirm your platform’s sixth-field or Quartz variants separately.
Does timestamp conversion use my local zone?
Follow the tool’s timezone controls and document which zone you assumed in tickets.
