Field Breakdown
*/159-17**1-5About This Schedule
The cron expression */15 9-17 * * 1-5 fires every 15 minutes during business hours — 9:00 AM through 5:59 PM, Monday through Friday. This combines three constraints: a minute step (*/15), an hour range (9-17), and a day-of-week range (1-5).
This is a highly practical schedule for real-time business monitoring: dashboard refreshes during working hours, SLA monitoring during business hours, customer-facing metrics collection, and periodic notification checks. By limiting to business hours and weekdays, you avoid wasting resources on off-hours processing.
The schedule produces 36 executions per weekday (9 hours × 4 per hour) and 180 per week. To extend to 8 AM–6 PM, use */15 8-18 * * 1-5. For a wider step, */30 9-17 * * 1-5 runs every 30 minutes instead.
