What is a cron expression?

A cron expression is a string consisting of five or six fields separated by white space that represents a set of times, normally as a schedule to execute some routine. It is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems to schedule commands or scripts to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.
