Cron Every Weekday at 5 PM

The cron expression 0 17 * * 1-5 triggers at 5:00 PM every weekday. This end-of-business-day schedule captures the full workday's data for processing.

End-of-day weekday jobs are perfect for daily summary reports, syncing the day's data to external systems, sending daily digest emails, triggering overnight batch processing, and creating end-of-day snapshots. The 5 PM timing ensures all business-hours activity is included.

To also capture a morning job, pair with 0 9 * * 1-5 for a twice-daily weekday schedule. For a later evening run, use 0 20 * * 1-5 (8 PM) or 0 22 * * 1-5 (10 PM).
