weekly cron job for automation for jira

[Scott McDonald]

Hello -

Can someone help me with a cron job that I want to run once per week, every Sunday at Midnight?  0 0 1 * 0 doesn't appear to be working.  Automation for JIRA is asking for a 1-12 for the month.

Thanks,.

Scott

Hello @Scott McDonald 

You can use below cron for every Sunday midnight

0 0 0 ? * SUN *

Next execution date/times will be as below (assuming today is Nov 16 Saturday)

• Sun Nov 17 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Nov 24 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Dec 01 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Dec 08 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Dec 15 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Dec 22 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Dec 29 00:00:00 UTC 2019
• Sun Jan 05 00:00:00 UTC 2020

You can use cron generator sites (e.g.: https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html) to generate and test such cron expressions.
