Crontab for .NET

NCrontab: Crontab for .NET

Build Status NuGet

NCrontab is a library written in C# targeting .NET Standard Library 1.0 and that provides the following facilities:

  • Parsing of crontab expressions
  • Formatting of crontab expressions
  • Calculation of occurrences of time based on a crontab schedule

This library does not provide any scheduler or is not a scheduling facility like cron from Unix platforms. What it provides is parsing, formatting and an algorithm to produce occurrences of time based on a give schedule expressed in the crontab format:

* * * * *
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)

or a six-part format that allows for seconds:

* * * * * *
- - - - - -
| | | | | |
| | | | | +--- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | | +----- month (1 - 12)
| | | +------- day of month (1 - 31)
| | +--------- hour (0 - 23)
| +----------- min (0 - 59)
+------------- sec (0 - 59)

Star (*) in the value field above means all legal values as in parentheses for that column. The value column can have a * or a list of elements separated by commas. An element is either a number in the ranges shown above or two numbers in the range separated by a hyphen (meaning an inclusive range). For more, see CrontabExpression.

Below is an example in IronPython of how to use CrontabSchedule class from NCrontab to generate occurrences of the schedule 0 12 * */2 Mon (meaning, 12:00 PM on Monday of every other month, starting with January) throughout the year 2000:

>>> from System import DateTime
>>> from NCrontab import CrontabSchedule
>>> s = CrontabSchedule.Parse('0 12 * */2 Mon')
>>> start = DateTime(2000, 1, 1)
>>> end = start.AddYears(1)
>>> occurrences = s.GetNextOccurrences(start, end)
>>> print '\n'.join([t.ToString('ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm') for t in occurrences])
