What is the difference between crontab and Spring/Quartz cron?

Standard Unix cron uses 5 fields: minute hour day month weekday. Spring and Quartz use 6 fields with seconds as the first field: second minute hour day month weekday. AWS EventBridge uses a slightly different 6-field format.

How do I run a job on the last day of every month?

In standard cron: 0 0 28-31 * * paired with a script that checks if tomorrow is month 1. Some cron implementations support the L (last) special character: 0 0 L * * for the last day of the month.

What does '*/5' mean in a cron expression?

The */ step syntax means 'every N units starting from the minimum value'. */5 in the minutes field means every 5 minutes (0, 5, 10, 15...55). */2 in the hours field means every 2 hours (0, 2, 4...22).
