Node-cron on windows server

Question

I have used node-cron to schedule job in my node application and I work on ubuntu OS. Below is the code for same. I am running the scheduler every one hour and it works fine on my local machine.

new CronJob('0 0 * * * *', function() {
    eventController.init()
}, null, true, 'Asia/Kolkata')

When I deploy this code to a windows server (using iis-node ) the scheduler runs every one minute. Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Thanks in advance.

I know that Sachin already explained, but for who are still lost on this explanation, have a very nice website to explain a cronjob:
