How to set up a scheduled task for every three months

[marc.van.der.peet]

Dear all,

I installed the Jira scheduler: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/37456/the-scheduler

This works fine. However, I want to do the following, I would like to set up a cron job so a ticket is created every three months (01/01, 01/04, 01/07, 01/10). Could somebody help me with the syntax for the advanced cron I need for this?

Hello Marc,

You can use "interval" in the "trigger type" field.

If you need a cron instead of interval you can take a look at this page

I think it would be something like

0 0 0 1 1/3 *

to be launched on 0:00:00 every 01/01, 01/04, 01/07 and 01/10

to change the starting month change the 1 in 1/3 to fit your first mont desired

to change the day of month change the 1 in the 4th position
