Question

I am trying to figure out a solution to getting a WebRole to run a Task every morning at 5AM. I have looked at Quartz.Net and the examples on stackoverflow but all of them schedule the task to run every 10 minutes. Are there any examples that show how I can schedule it?

Answer 1

Quartz.Net should be good for you.Try to use CronTrigger (or CronTriggerImpl in version 2.x).

Example of cron-expression – "0 0 5 * * ?" – run every day at 5 AM.

Cron trigger sub-expression position meaning:

1. Seconds – 0 for you (run at 0 second)
2. Minutes – 0 for you (run at 0 minutes)
3. Hours – 5 for you (run at 5 hour; it uses 24-hour clock)
4. Day-of-Month – * – run every day
5. Month – * for you (run every month)
6. Day-of-Week – ? – not specified for you (Day-of-Month has been used instead)
7. Year (optional field) – not used
