what format should cron be when setting up a schedule

[HattrickNZ]

sorry forthis simplistic question I just can't work it out from the instructions.

here I want to set up a cron job to run every day at 3:03 a.m.

when seeting up a cron job(see pic beow) what format should the paramter be in in the input box below in the pic:
1 - no quotes
03 3 * * *
2 - single quotes
'03 3 * * *'
3 - other single quotes forget the name
03 3 * * *

Hi HattrickNZ,

well, have you tried to use ' or " in the cron field?
If you do so, you will get this error:

Encountered the following error while trying to save: In handler 'savedsearch': Invalid cron_schedule="'* 5 * * *'"

So, the answer is: No quotes of any kind are needed in the cron entry field.

cheers, MuS
