Cron Every Weekday at 6 PM

The cron expression 0 18 * * 1-5 fires at 6:00 PM every weekday. This post-business-hours slot captures the full workday's data for evening processing.

Weekday 6 PM schedules are used for end-of-day data exports, sending daily summary emails, triggering overnight batch jobs, starting nightly backup procedures, and generating end-of-day dashboards. The 6 PM timing ensures all business-hours transactions are included.

To pair with a morning job, use 0 8 * * 1-5 for a 10-hour gap, or 0 6 * * 1-5 for an even 12-hour split.
