I want to automate a task to be created twice a year. Once on 1st May and once on 1st November, at 12:45am UTC.

I have used the following CRON expression and I think this is correct, but would really appreciate confirmation?

0 45 0 1 5,11 ? *

 

Thank you.

Your expression is correct,

This is how I would do it : 0 45 0 1 5/6 ? *

0 : midnight

45 : minutes

0 : seconds

1 : first day of month

5/6 : fifth month of each 6 month cycle (May, November)

? : Day of week (ignored)

* : every year
