A cron expression is a string of 5 (or 6) fields that defines a recurring schedule for automated tasks. The fields are minute, hour, day-of-month, month, and day-of-week, each separated by a space.
The slash notation means 'every N units'. For example, */5 in the minute field means 'every 5 minutes'. In the hour field, */2 means 'every 2 hours'.
