Scheduled jobs system in 1.3.1

[simon]

Hi again,

The scheduled jobs seems to be updated to some new system in the 1.3(.1) release. Is there any documentation on how I should configure this? It's working fine now but I don't see all the possibilities. A normal (Linux like) crontab systems work with:

* * * * *
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | —– day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | ——- month (1 - 12)
| | ——— day of month (1 - 31)
| ———– hour (0 - 23)
————- min (0 - 59)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The Alfresco one differs from this (55 is not the hour field but this would run every 55 minutes and there is one extra parameter). What does the question mark does?

<property name="cronExpression">
   <value>0 55 * * * ?</value>
</property>‍‍‍

I tried the WIKI but could not find any references for this, thanks!

Hi

The implementation uses the quartz cron trigger.
See http://quartz.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/quartz/CronTrigger.html for the full details of the cron expressions available.
