Enum CronFormat

Namespace

Quartz

Assembly

Quartz.dll

The field layout and day-of-week numbering a cron expression string is read with.

public enum CronFormat

Fields

Quartz = 0

Quartz's own dialect: six or seven fields - seconds, minutes, hours, day-of-month, month, day-of-week and optionally year - with day-of-week numbered 1-7 starting at Sunday.

Unix = 1

The Unix crontab dialect: five fields - minutes, hours, day-of-month, month, day-of-week - with no seconds and no year, and day-of-week numbered 0-7 where both 0 and 7 are Sunday.

Remarks

The format is chosen at the moment the string is read and is not carried anywhere afterwards: Parse(string, CronFormat) normalises what it reads into the canonical Quartz form, which is what CronExpressionString, the dashboard and the database all hold.

The @ macros — @yearly, @annually, @monthly, @weekly, @daily, @midnight and @hourly — need no format: they mean the same thing in every cron there is, so they are read by every entry point, including the XML scheduling data files and the HTTP API.
