cron job expression trigger
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I have a program called FormReturn. It marks multiple choice forms. It is a Java program (I think). It has a task scheduler. The task scheduler can take a cron job. I want to set it to check a folder every Friday at say 11pm. What does a cron job trigger expression normally look like? I have no idea of the syntax for that kind of thing. FormReturn support just asked me why I wanted to do that, they did not give me the syntax and it is not in their help file. I've attached a screenshot of the relevant window. |

Code:
man 5 crontab There are also system cron files. System cron files will have a little bit different structure. The user there is specified in the 6th column. But your program is probably not going to be using them. |
I did find this from their website. The link to quartz-scheduler.org is broken but I did find some information.

Thanks for that:
there is a bug in the program. It takes the quartz scheduler expression, but the next time you look, under edit task, the syntax is gone, all you see is the 'poll frequency'. I put a cron job style expression in. That messed everything up. It was not possible to create any new task after that. Only a complete removal and reinstall fixed that. Lost all my data. Actually, I saved it, but when I reinstate it, the problem is also there again! The problem gets saved with the data! Haven't heard from the support since then. FormReturn is good, it cost me $ 700, but a bit of support would be good! |
