How to use

Set a Unix five-field expression, starting instant, time zone, and result count. Check candidate times even for expressions generated by the GUI.

Inspect weekdays, month boundaries, and daylight-saving changes. The tool neither interprets Quartz automatically nor registers jobs; verify the schedule on your actual scheduler too.

Examples

*/15 9-17 * * 1-5

Principles and limits

Each input is limited to 1,048,576 bytes, output to 33,554,432 bytes, and processing to 5,000 ms. Input is never silently truncated.
