Cron Monday at 8 AM

The cron expression 0 8 * * 1 fires every Monday at 8:00 AM. The 0 sets the minute to zero, 8 targets hour 8 (8 AM in 24-hour time), and 1 in the day-of-week field means Monday.

This is a classic start-of-week schedule. Teams use it to kick off weekly builds, send Monday morning status reports, refresh dashboards before standup, or trigger weekly data aggregation pipelines. If your team starts earlier, swap 8 for 6 or 7.

Remember that cron uses the server's timezone by default. If your team spans multiple timezones, consider running at a UTC time that works for everyone, or use timezone-aware schedulers like systemd timers.
