Question: What kind of cron flavor is used?

Question

Any one know what kind of cron implementation is used by semaphore UI?

Want to schedule somehting for tue if it falls between the 15-21 at 12 o clock.

I know that if it is utc time i need to say at 0 10.
But it kinda weird that 0 12 15-21 * 2 doesn't work. Also tried using the timer format:

Tue *-*-15..21 12:00:00

Hi @kris9854
Package https://github.com/robfig/cron used for Schedules on backend and https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron-parser for frontend.

@fiftin thanks.
Soo i can't do it like i want :/
Do you maybe have an idear on how to go around it? Wrapper bash script that just calls a integration to start the template job?

Want to schedule a playbook to run on the 3th of tuesday in every month :)

Hi @kris9854

1. robfig/cron understands this expression 0 12 15-21 * 2, so it should works. I will try to reproduce the issue.

2. I will remove npm package cron-parser and add API endpoint to calculate next run time on backend.
