About This Schedule
The cron expression 0 0 * * 0,6 fires at midnight on both Saturday and Sunday. The list 0,6 in the day-of-week field specifies Sunday (0) and Saturday (6).
Weekend midnight schedules are used for maintenance tasks that shouldn't impact weekday operations: database optimization, full backups, large data migrations, storage cleanup, and extended health checks. Running at midnight gives the maximum overnight window for completion.
To run on just one weekend day, use 0 0 * * 6 (Saturday only) or 0 0 * * 0 (Sunday only). For a different time, change the hour: 0 8 * * 0,6 runs at 8 AM on weekends.
