Quartz.Net - Quarterly Starting Today

Question

How to create a trigger that runs every 3 months (quarterly), starting today.

I could do something as simple as

tr = TriggerUtils.MakeHourlyTrigger(2190); // (365 / 4) * 24 hours = 2190 

I do not think this is the best way to solve this problem. Although maybe there is some fancy way to trigger a trigger?

Answer 1

Fields in cron are equal

• Seconds
• Minutes
• Clock
• day month
• Month
• day-week
• Year (optional field)

So you may like

 0 0 0 1 */3 ? 

which will shoot every 3 months in the first month of the month at midnight.
