Wie ist die Standardreihenfolge der 5 Cron-Felder?

Von links nach rechts: Minute (0-59), Stunde (0-23), Tag des Monats (1-31), Monat (1-12) und Wochentag (0-7).

What is the difference between standard 5-field cron and Quartz 6-field cron?

Standard cron begins at the minute level (5 fields). Quartz begins with a seconds field (0-59) followed by minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week, and optional year, providing sub-minute scheduling precision.

Why should recurring production cron jobs always be scheduled in UTC?

Scheduling in local time zones creates vulnerabilities during Daylight Saving Time (DST) clock adjustments, causing jobs to either execute twice (autumn rollback) or be skipped entirely (spring jump). UTC has no DST shifts.

How does cron handle both Day-of-Month and Day-of-Week in the same rule?

Under standard POSIX cron specifications, when both Day-of-Month and Day-of-Week are non-wildcard values, cron treats them with logical OR logic. The job executes whenever either condition evaluates to true.

Can I test and parse non-standard step expressions like */15 or ranges like 9-17?

Yes. The X114 parser fully evaluates step expressions (*/N), ranges (A-B), comma lists (A,B,C), and range steps (A-B/N) in real time with comprehensive error checking.
