Common questions
Which cron dialect is assumed?
Standard five-field Unix cron. Quartz and some CI systems add seconds or use different tokens.
Why do the next runs look shifted?
The preview uses a specific timezone. Compare it with the server that will run the job.
How do I run every five minutes?
Use */5 in the minute field. The other fields stay as asterisks unless you need a narrower window.
