About This Schedule
The cron expression 0 9-17 * * 1-5 runs a job every hour during standard business hours — from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (inclusive), Monday through Friday.
The range 9-17 in the hour field covers business hours, and 1-5 in the day-of-week field restricts it to weekdays. This produces 9 executions per weekday, 45 per week.
This pattern is useful for business-hours monitoring, hourly dashboards, and systems that should only be active during work hours. Adjust the range for your timezone and working hours as needed.
