CRON EXPRESSION

CRON Expression:
A CRON expression is a string comprising 5 or 6 fields separated by white space that represents a set of times, normally as a schedule to execute some routine.

Field name	Mandatory?	Allowed values	Allowed special characters
Minutes	Yes	0-59	* / , -
Hours	Yes	0-23	* / , -
Day of month	Yes	1-31	* / , - ? L W
Month	Yes	1-12 or JAN-DEC	* / , -
Day of week	Yes	0-6 or SAT-FRI	* / , - ? L #
Year	No	1970–2099	* / , -

Special characters

Asterisk ( * )

The asterisk indicates that the cron expression will match for all values of the field; e.g., using an asterisk in the 4th field (month) would indicate every month.

Slash ( / )

Slashes are used to describe increments of ranges. For example 3-59/15 in the 1st field (minutes) would indicate the 3rd minute of the hour and every 15 minutes thereafter. The form "*/..." is equivalent to the form "first-last/...", that is, an increment over the largest possible range of the field.

Percent ( % )

Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into newline characters, and all data after the first % will be sent to the command as standard input.

Comma ( , )

Commas are used to separate items of a list. For example, using "MON,WED,FRI" in the 5th field (day of week) would mean Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hyphen ( - )

Hyphens are used to define ranges. For example, 2000-2010 would indicate every year between 2000 and 2010 CE inclusive.

L

'L' stands for "last". When used in the day-of-week field, it allows you to specify constructs such as "the last Friday" ("5L") of a given month. In the day-of-month field, it specifies the last day of the month.

W

The 'W' character is allowed for the day-of-month field. This character is used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day. As an example, if you were to specify "15W" as the value for the day-of-month field, the meaning is: "the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month". So if the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Friday the 14th. If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 16th. If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it will fire on Tuesday the 15th. However if you specify "1W" as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 3rd, as it will not 'jump' over the boundary of a month's days. The 'W' character can be specified only when the day-of-month is a single day, not a range or list of days.

Hash ( # )

'#' is allowed for the day-of-week field, and must be followed by a number between one and five. It allows you to specify constructs such as "the second Friday" of a given month.

Question mark ( ? )

Note: Question mark is a non-standard character and exists only in some cron implementations. It is used instead of '*' for leaving either day-of-month or day-of-week blank.

Examples

Every minute

* * * * *

Every 1 minute

0 0/1 * * * ?

2-59/3 1,9,22 11-26 1-6 ? 2003

	Minutes	Hours	Day of month	Month	Weekday	Year

How to restrict ctrl+v in textbox?

The simplest way to restrict ctrl+v in textbox is,
declare onpaste, oncopy, oncontextmenu attributes in body.
Ex:
<body onpaste="return false" oncopy="return false" oncontextmenu="return false">
........
</body>

the above will restrict ctrl+v, ctrl+c, right click in all textbox's.

To restrict ctrl+v in individual textbox,

<input type="text" onpaste="return false" oncopy="return false" oncontextmenu="return false">

onpaste : restricts ctrl+v
oncopy : restricts ctrl+c
oncontextmenu : restricts right click in textbox
