What does 0 0 * * 6,0 mean?

The cron expression 0 0 * * 6,0 translates to “At 00:00, on Sunday and Saturday”. It is one of the most commonly used schedules (every weekend).

The list `6,0` in the day-of-week field picks out Saturday (6) and Sunday (0) - a comma-separated list, not a range - so with minute 0 and hour 0 the job runs at 00:00 on both weekend days and nothing else. It is the mirror image of the weekday schedule: use it for heavy maintenance you want to run only when traffic is low, weekend-only batch jobs, or reconciliation that should happen while the business is quiet. Writing the weekend as a list (`6,0`) rather than a range matters, because Saturday and Sunday are at opposite ends of cron's 0-6 numbering and a range like `6-0` would be invalid.
