Set time interval

Now you will set the duration of the Timed Holder. When the duration of the Timed Holder is over, the holder will be reset.

Format

cron: <cron-expression>

Built-in

The plugin provides some built-in cron expressions in case you don’t want to make the expression yourself:

• HOURLY: The holder would be reset at the start of the next hour
• DAILY: The holder would be reset at the start of the next day
• WEEKLY: The holder would be reset at the start of the next week
• MONTHLY: The holder would be reset at the start of the next month
• YEARLY: The holder would be reset at the start of the next year

If your case is not covered in the built-in expressions, read the next section on how to customize your own cron

Cron Expression

By default, the cron is a QUARTZ expression, which is usually an expression with 7 parts.

You can go to this page to generate your own cron expression.

If you don’t use Quartz expression and want to use another cron format, you can set the cron-type option, along with your cron expression:

cron-type: <cron-type>
cron: <cron-expression>

Available types for cron-type include:

• CRON4J: Go to this page to learn the expression
• QUARTZ: The default type of this plugin.
• UNIX: Follow the UNIX cron expression. Go to this page to generate your own cron expression
• SPRING: The cron format from Spring Framework
• SPRING53: The cron format from Spring Framework, starting from version 5.3
