通过使用节点调度（Node.js）在 javascript 中应用服务器时区来运行后台服务。

Question

Hello stack overflow community,

I am an absolute beginner with regard to how servers configuration works. Currently, I have an app to be scheduled at a specific time, for every 5 minutes. (8:00 am - 10:00PM Malaysia Time, (GMT+8)). But my server is using Eastern Daylight Time, (EDT).

So how do I write it in my program so it will run on the 8-9 PM Malaysia time.

Below is my current code.

var schedule = require("node-schedule");

schedule.scheduleJob("*/5 8-22 * * *", function () {
//Some code to get data
  });

Thanks for any helps in advance

Your server is Eastern Daylight Time, (EDT) equal to GMT-4 and you want to run your code at 8:00 GMT+8

Then it would be from 8 PM (20:00) the day BEFORE to 10 AM CURRENT DAY in EDT time.

For this case, maybe you would like to see this cronjob over midnight . Good luck.
