How do I edit this cron schedule to: every morning 06:00 from Monday to Friday?

Hello, 

I have this cron schedule, which is supposed to run every morning 06:00 from Monday to Friday:

* * 6 ? * MON-FRI * 

But it doesn't work and seems to execute every minute. How do I fix this?

I used this from another community topic for reference:

0 0  6  1/1 * ? *
| |  |   |  | | | 
| |  |   |  | | +-- Year              (range: 1970-2099)   *= All years
| |  |   |  | +---- Day of the Week   (range: 1-7 SUN-SAT) ?= No specific month
| |  |   |  +------ Month of the Year (range: 0-11 JAN-DEC)*= All months
| |  |   +--------- Day of the Month  (range: 1-31)        1/1 = run everyday
| |  +------------- Hour              (range: 0-23)
| +---------------- Minute            (range: 0-59)
+------------------ Second            (range: 0-59)

Hi @Ano Niempje and Welcome to Atlassian Communitu!

It looks like your cron job runs every second because of the * in the first position.
Here is a cron expression that runs at 6 AM every weekday (Monday to Friday):

0 0 6 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI *

Btw, i use this site: Cron Expression Generator & Explainer - Quartz
