Weekday Schedules

* Scheduling Guide

Weekday schedules use the day-of-week field to restrict execution to Monday through Friday. The standard expression 0 9 * * 1-5 runs at 9 AM on weekdays; 0 8-18 * * 1-5 runs every hour during business hours on weekdays. Note that "weekday" in cron refers to calendar weekdays, not business days — public holidays are not excluded. If your job must skip public holidays, the schedule itself cannot handle that; the exclusion logic needs to live inside the job, checking against a holiday calendar before proceeding. Combining a weekday restriction with a specific hour range is one of the most practical cron patterns for jobs that should mirror normal business operations.
