How to use

- If you need a nearby interval, browse the related schedules at the bottom of this page.
Monday midnight (or Monday morning, if you change the hour) is the usual slot for a weekly digest: last week’s errors, last week’s invoices, last week’s signups.
Day-of-week 1 is Monday in Linux cron and in GitHub Actions. If a managed scheduler documents “0 = Monday,” read that doc twice before you copy this expression.
When this schedule is a good fit
Typical uses: A weekly product metrics mail; Rotating a weekly backup retention slot; Opening a Monday-only maintenance window.
Cron fields are zone-naive. The daemon’s TZ — or the TZ= line above the job — decides what “midnight” or “9am” means. Preview both UTC and the office zone before you ship.
