The Five Fields

Standard crontabs use five fields: Minute, Hour, Day of Month, Month, and Day of Week. Some variations include seconds or years, but the 5-part format is the universal standard for Linux/Unix systems.

Special Characters

* (All values),, (Value list),- (Range),/ (Step values). Using these allows for complex schedules like "Every 15 minutes during work hours."
