[SOLVED] Run Cron Job every 45 minutes with Node-Cron

Issue

I'm using node-cron to run scheduled jobs. I want the jobs to run every 45 minutes, but its acting strangely

Here's the pattern I'm using

'00 */45 * * * *'

I started my script at Tue Jun 17 2014 08:17:39 GMT+0000 (GMT)

Here's are the first couple of times the job was executed

1. Tue Jun 17 2014 08:45:03 GMT+0000 (GMT)

2. Tue Jun 17 2014 09:00:01 GMT+0000 (GMT)

3. Tue Jun 17 2014 09:45:02 GMT+0000 (GMT)

This is definitely not what I expected or want. All I want is to run the Jobs every 45 minutes. Can anyone help me with the pattern? Thanks :)

You're probably looking for

The ranges are here.

• Seconds: 0-59
• Minutes: 0-59
• Hours: 0-23
• Day of Month: 1-31
• Months: 0-11
• Day of Week: 0-6
