Frequently asked questions
Does it support 6-field or Quartz syntax?
No, only the standard 5-field format used by most Linux crontabs.
Which time zone are the next runs in?
Your browser’s local time zone. Your server may use UTC, so double-check.
Can it tell me if my job actually ran?
No. It only explains the schedule. A heartbeat monitor tells you when a job goes silent.
