Cron trigger issue with Quartz

Question

Can anyone tell me if a Cron expression of 1 0 * * * ? will mean that a Quartz job in Java runs at one second past the hour, every hour?

I always seem to get these wrong.

Answer 1

Yes, one second past the hour, every hour, but you're missing a * .

The parameters for a cron line in quartz are:

• seconds of hour (0-59)
• minute of hour (0-59)
• hour of day (0-23)
• day of month (1-31)
• month of year (1-12)
• day of week (1-7, 7 is Saturday)
• (optional) year

So you would need six or seven values:

1 0 * * * *
