Cron: Every 2 hours
Runs the job every two hours.
0 */2 * * *At minute 0 past every 2nd hour (00:00, 02:00, …).
Field breakdown
| Minute | Hour | Day of month | Month | Day of week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | */2 | * | * | * |
The five fields are, in order: minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day of month (1–31), month (1–12), and day of week (0–6, Sunday = 0).
Common use case
Periodic backups or syncs that don’t justify running hourly.
Watch out for
*/2 in the hour field means even hours (0, 2, 4…), not “two hours from whenever this was deployed.”
