What does 0 0 * * 1 mean?

The cron expression 0 0 * * 1 translates to “At 00:00, on Monday”. It is one of the most commonly used schedules (every monday).

This is the first schedule to use the day-of-week field: `1` means Monday (cron numbers weekdays 0-6 with Sunday as 0). Combined with minute 0 and hour 0, the job runs once a week, at 00:00 on Monday. Weekly-on-Monday is the natural home for "start of the week" work: weekly summary reports, resetting counters or quotas, planning digests, or maintenance you want to land before the workweek begins. Note that the day-of-month field stays `*`, so the run tracks the weekday, not a date - it fires whichever calendar day Monday happens to fall on.

Use the builder above to tweak this expression and instantly see how the description and the next run times change.
