}

The reference documentation for this implementation is found at Wikipedia.
Asterisk means the full range in the field. For example, *
for an hour
entry implies 0-23
.
Slashes can be combined with ranges to specify step values.
Commas are used to separate items of a list.
Hyphens are used for ranges.
Ranges are two numbers separated with a hyphen. For example, 8-11
for an hours
entry specifies execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11.
'#' is allowed for the day-of-week field, and must be followed by a number between one and five. It allows you to specify constructs such as "the second Friday" of a given month.
The H
symbol can be used like a range. For example, H H(0-7) * * *
means some time between 0:00 AM (midnight) to 7:59 AM.
The H
symbol can be thought of as a random value over a range, but it actually is a hash of the given value, not a random function, so that the value remains stable for it.
When used in the day-of-week field, it allows you to specify constructs such as "the last Friday" ("5L") of a given month. In the day-of-month field, it specifies the last day of the month.
This character is used to specify the weekday (Monday to Friday) nearest the given day.
