Cron Expressions
TeamCity allows you to flexibly schedule regular operations using the cron format. Currently, cron-like expressions are supported for schedule triggers.
TeamCity uses Quartz for working with cron expressions. See the examples below or consider using the CronMaker utility to generate expressions based on the Quartz cron format.
