CRON Scheduling

[Val Gendleman]

Hello, 

I'm trying to create an automated email using CRON to schedule. In my test I entered the following 

0 15 14 11W 3 ?

My expectation was that the email should have been delivered at 2:15PM EDT today, Tuesday, March 11. No email came. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Val

Hi @Val Gendleman I'm seconding the link from John.  I'm not exactly sure what schedule you are looking for, and I'm no expert in Cron, but if you're looking for 0 seconds, at 14:15 on the 11th day of March for any weekday in any year, I get "0 15 14 11 MAR ? *"  I actually see 7 expressions needed in the sequence.  I have had pretty good luck using the expression that that page creates.

Hope that helps.
