Frequently asked questions

What happens when both day-of-month and day-of-week are set?

Standard cron runs when either matches. 0 0 1 * MON runs on the 1st of every month and on every Monday.

How is daylight saving time handled?

Times that don't exist when clocks spring forward are skipped, exactly like most schedulers, and every run is also shown in UTC.
