I am using "cron(0 21 * * ? *)" as a cron expression to run my glue job every day. However, I want to change it, and make my job run just monday to friday. How could I do it? May you guys help me, please?
You need to set the day-of-week component and unset the day-of-month:
cron(0 21 ? * MON-FRI *)
See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/monitor-data-warehouse-schedule.html
See also https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/glue/home?region=eu-west-1#/v2/etl-configuration/triggers/add to build and inspect cron based triggers.

I have a Lambda Function that needs to be invoked biweekly on Sunday at 10am. I used the rate expression to set 14 days as the rate period. However from the official documentation, I couldn't find a way to specify the Sunday at 10AM part. How can I make that happen?
If you're looking to do this you need to use a cron expression instead for the CloudWatch event.
The cron schedule 0 10 ? * 1 * will cause the CloudWatch event to trigger every Sunday at 10 AM UTC. Be aware that regardless of your region that the cron will always evaluate in UTC so you may need to adjust the times to match your local region.
More information is available in the cron expressions documentation.
I want to trigger an AWS Lambda function, using Cloudwatch Rules and the requirement is as follows.
Condition 1: Trigger Daily
Condition 2: Every 5 mins
Condition 3: It should NOT trigger between 11PM and
1AM every day (Maintenance Window).
I read the documentation on crons and am unable to come up with a Cron expression to fulfill condition 3. I came up with the following expression.
0/5 ## * * ? *
How can I fulfill condition 3 mentioned above? I have left it as ## on the cron expression. I am well aware of the timezones.
You can utilize cron online tools such as

Here is the expression that I created as per your requirement
*/5 1-23 * * *
I'm answering my own question. Regular cron expressions are not applicable for AWS Cloudwatch Rules. AWS Cloudwatch Rules have a cron expression of SIX (6) Required Fields. (Link to Documentation). The answer to this question is as follows. I will present different scenarios, because in some cases, the timezone is important and we might have to skip different hours instead of Midnight.
Both of the below scenarios are working and I tested in the AWS Cloudwatch Rules.
Scenario 1: Trigger Daily - Every 5 Mins - Skip 11PM to 1AM.
0/5 1-22 * * ? *
Explanation: First field mentions, it should be triggered only in 0th and 5th Minutes. Second field mentions that it should be triggered from 1st Hour to 22nd Hour. Hence, after 22:55 the next trigger will be 1:00. It will skip from 23:00 to 00:55.
Scenario 2: Trigger Daily - Every 5 Mins - Skip 5PM to 7PM
0/5 0-16,19-23 * * ? *
Explanation: First field mentions, it should be triggered only in 0th and 5th Minutes. Second field mentions that it should be triggered from 0th Hour to 16th Hour and from the 19th Hour to 23rd Hour. Hence, after 16:55 the next trigger will be 19:00. It will skip from 17:00 to 18:55.
This command can help you :
*/5 1-23* * * * /usr/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.ph >/dev/null 2>&1
Reference : crontab run every 15 minutes between certain hours
The answer is already given but few thing that I can add, and the https://crontab.guru/ create confusion as AWS cron expression is consist of 6 figures while crontab consist of 5, which just create confusion as mentioned by #keet
So first you can ignore the year section and check your cron express in crontab but again crontab does not understand ? mark when it comes to days of week.
So my suggestion is to use AWS console for expression testing which will list next 10 triggers.
So hope it helps someone else to know about the next trigger.
For more details, you check AWS CronExpressions
I need help with a project to generate snapshot in AWS.
When generating a crontab it tells me that the crontab I typed is not valid. I need it to generate from Monday to Friday from 10 to 22 UTC, every 10 minutes.
Can anyone help me?
I tried this crontab:
0/10 10-22 * * MON-FRI *
It is not quite clear your cron is running within your on-premise Linux-dist, or you are generating the cron in AWS native cloudwatch rule for snapshot. I believe the later scenario is more AWS-style. If yes, the correct syntax is
0/10 10-22 ? * MON-FRI *
(It should be ? if you need any day of Month/Week)
I have a Glue job that runs at the beginning of every hour. The Cron expression for the trigger looks like this cron(0 * * * ? *).
However, for an two hours on every tuesdays, the destination redshift cluster goes down during it's maintenance window, And I'd rather not run the job then.
How do I specify the cron expression for "Run on the 0th minute of every hour everyday except between 10:30 and 12:30 on Tuesdays"?
Thanks
Might have to just have two cronjobs one for tuesday, and one for other days
Tuesday: (0 0-10,13-23 * * 2) https://crontab.guru/#0_0-10,13-23___2
Other days: (0 * * * 0-1,3-7) https://crontab.guru/#0___*_0-1,3-7
I'd like my Lambda function to run on the last day of every month at 11:30pm.
I'm using the Serverless Framework so all I need is the right Schedule Expression (docs here & info here)
Any help greatly appreciated.
NB: Unfortunately I can't just do it at the start of the month as there's a dependency on pulling data from a 3rd party tool that only calculates data for 'this month'.
From docs:
The L wildcard in the Day-of-month or Day-of-week fields specifies the last day of the month or week.
So, try this cron expression for 11:30 PM at the last day of the month:
cron(30 23 L * ? *)
