I have a job scheduled via Quartz and a CRON Expression. The goal of my CRON expression is to run every 10 minutes every day between Monday and Friday between 08:00 AM and 20:00 PM and looks like this:

0 0/10 8-19 ? * MON-FRI

My execution log looks like this:

I would like that my CRON expression will fire my job at 20:00 PM. Question: Can this be accomplished using one CRON expression? which one?

Why should it run at 20:00? You specify that the hour should be 8-19, so 20:00 doesn't match that. I am not sure if there can be a single line cron expression to accomplish your needs, but you could easily add a line

0 20 * * * ...

in addition to the existing one, that should do the trick.

  • Thanks for your reply, actually my "workaround" is just using two cron expressions. My question is just for improving my skills.

    That example is incorrect. That example will fire off at midnight of the 20th day of the month, NOT at 20:00 every day.
