Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Visual Cron Builder?
It is a point-and-click interface to compose valid 5-field cron expressions without memorizing syntax.
Does it support seconds (6-field cron)?
No. The builder outputs standard 5-field cron compatible with most crontab implementations. Use presets or edit manually if your platform supports seconds.
Can I start from a preset and customize it?
Yes. Choose a common pattern and then switch to Advanced Mode to tweak any individual field.
How do I verify my expression?
Use the integrated validation and the “Generated Expression” preview. You can also open the Validator tool to get field-by-field feedback.
