I want to schedule a method to run every 24 hours and with the settings I have it is executing every 24 minutes.

I have referred below URL's which has different suggestions

Link 1 suggests <second> <minute> <hour> <day-of-month> <month> <day-of-week> <year> <command>

Link 2 suggests minute hour day(month) month day(week)

Below are the cron settings put in the application.yml of my Spring Boot application.

cron: job: expression: 0 0 23 * * ?

Could someone help on what are the correct source of information and what can be the settings with the requirements at hand.

If you run the scheduled job in spring the record must be as mentioned in first link:

0 0 23 * *

This will run the job at 23:00:00 every day

  • i think this is not correct, your example will run the job each 23th day in month. The Signature is "m h dom mon dow". In order to run a Job at 23th hour, it would be "0 23 * * * /foo/bar/job" – Henry Jan 13 '21 at 10:31
  • @Henry, in Spring framework the first element is seconds: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26147143/2908599 Here is a Spring documentation: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/3.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/support/CronSequenceGenerator.html – Romeo Ninov Jan 13 '21 at 12:34
