Issue
I created a cron date but couldn't be sure. I want to run every monday at 16:25. I got help from https://crontab.guru. According to crontab.guru every monday at 16:25 is
25 16 * * MON
Yo can check here https://crontab.guru/#25_16_*_*_MON . I checked the this time on https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html but not working. According to freeformatter must be 0 25 16 ? * MON * and next execution dates is correct. Which one is correct. Which one should i use?
Solution
I believe different cron implementations have different syntax.
For example, crontab.guru refers to cronitor as mentioned on the website:
crontab guru: The quick and simple editor for cron schedule expressions by Cronitor
Similarly, freeformatter refers to Quartz as mentioned on their website:
Generate a quartz cron expression with an easy to use online interface.
Which one should I use?
So I believe that depends on what cron you're using. For me, using crontab.guru worked fine for scheduling jobs on MacOS.
