よくある質問

5 fields vs 6 fields — what's the difference?

Standard cron uses 5 fields (minute, hour, day, month, weekday). Some systems add a 6th field for seconds. AWS EventBridge and Spring use 6 fields.

How do I handle timezone-sensitive cron jobs?

Set the cron daemon timezone explicitly (TZ=UTC in crontab). For multi-timezone deployments, use UTC and convert in your application code.
