Frequently Asked Questions
What does the asterisk (*) mean in a cron schedule?
The asterisk is a wildcard value that means 'every'. For example, an asterisk in the 'hour' field means the job will run every hour.
How do I specify multiple values?
You can specify multiple values using a comma (e.g., `1,15,30` for minutes 1, 15, and 30), a range using a hyphen (e.g., `1-5` for minutes 1 through 5), or a step value with a slash (e.g., `*/15` for every 15 minutes).
