A cron expression is a string of five fields separated by spaces that represents a schedule. Each field specifies a unit of time — minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. Cron expressions are used by the cron daemon on Unix-like systems to schedule commands or scripts to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.
