Cron configuration

This plugin uses the node-cron module to setup the cron job.

Available cron patterns:

Asterisk. E.g. *
Ranges. E.g. 1-3,5
Steps. E.g. */2

Read up on cron patterns here. Note the examples in the link have five fields, and 1 minute as the finest granularity, but the node cron module allows six fields, with 1 second as the finest granularity.

Cron Ranges

When specifying your cron values you'll need to make sure that your values fall within the ranges. For instance, some cron's use a 0-7 range for the day of week where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday. We do not.

• Seconds: 0-59
• Minutes: 0-59
• Hours: 0-23
• Day of Month: 1-31
• Months: 0-11
• Day of Week: 0-6
