What are the 5 cron fields?

minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day-of-month (1-31), month (1-12), day-of-week (0-7, both 0 and 7 mean Sunday).

How do I run something every 15 minutes?

Use */15 * * * * — that's 'every 15 minutes, every hour, every day'.

What does the '?' mean?

Quartz/Java cron uses '?' to mean 'no specific value' in either day-of-month or day-of-week. Standard Unix cron doesn't use it.

Day of week — is Sunday 0 or 7?

Both, in standard Unix cron. Some systems (Quartz) use 1-7 with Sunday = 1. We follow Unix convention.

Is the explainer free?

Yes — fully free, no signup, runs in your browser.
