Issue
I'm trying to customise a cronjob to schedule run a function in Google Cloud. I've been reading the rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation and as per title, one thing confuses me.
The documentation mentions that every prefix must be used if the function is to be repeated at a DAILY interval. But it is not clear on how it works if you want a function to be repeated at a WEEKLY, MONTHLY, or in my specific case, YEARLY intervals.
I've added schedule: 1 of jan 00:10 to my cron.yaml, am I correct to assume that this will be repeated every 1st of January, 10 minutes after midnight or will it only run once? Do I need to change it to schedule: every 1 of jan 00:10 ?
For the record, I found a similar question here on SO, but the problem is said question was asked and answered 10 years ago, so I dont know how applicable it still is.
Solution
Yes, it is like you said, schedule: 1 of jan 00:10 will work for you. It will be repeated on 1st of Jan every year at 12:10 am.
Similarly, to run weekly: schedule: every monday 00:00
Monthly: schedule: 1 of month 09:00
For more such examples and verification you can refer to “Custom interval” section in this documentation
