Understanding Cron Expressions

Cron expressions define when a scheduled job should run. TeamKeeper follows the standard Spring Framework cron format:

Cron Format

Seconds  Minutes  Hours  DayOfMonth  Month  DayOfWeek  Year(optional)

Allowed Values

Seconds: 0–59
Minutes: 0–59
Hours: 0–23
Day of Month: 1–31
Month: 1–12 or JAN–DEC
Day of Week: 0–7 (0 and 7 = Sunday, or MON–SUN)

Cron Expression Rules

Asterisk ()* = every possible value
Question mark (?) = no specific value (used in DayOfMonth or DayOfWeek)
Comma (,) = list of values
Hyphen (-) = range of values
Slash (/) = increments (e.g., */5 = every 5 units)
English names allowed for months and days (e.g., MON, JAN)

Example Cron Expressions

Expression	Meaning
`0 0 * * * *`	Runs at the top of every hour
`* /5 * * *`	Runs every 5 minutes

Executing a Cron Job Manually in TeamKeeper

TeamKeeper allows manual execution of any cron job through a direct URL call. This forces the job to run immediately, regardless of its scheduled time.

Manual Execution URL

https://<site>/cronjob/triggerService.html?type=<cronjob>

Example

To run TIMESHEETPREPOPULATIONSERVICEAIRFORCE on a local environment:

https://localhost:8443/cronjob/triggerService.html?type=TIMESHEETPREPOPULATIONSERVICEAIRFORCE

Replace:

<site> with your TeamKeeper domain
<cronjob> with the exact cron job name
