Questions

What is the cron expression for every weekday (mon–fri)?

0 9 * * 1-5. At 09:00, on weekdays (Monday through Friday).

How do I write it in Quartz or Spring?

Add a seconds field and use "?" for the unused day field: 0 0 9 ? * MON-FRI. In Spring: @Scheduled(cron = "0 0 9 ? * MON-FRI").

What is the AWS EventBridge version?

cron(0 9 ? * MON-FRI *). AWS uses six fields with a year at the end and needs "?" in one of the day fields.

Which time zone will it use?

The time zone of the machine or service running cron. GitHub Actions and Vercel use UTC; Kubernetes uses spec.timeZone if set. The preview above lets you pick a zone.
