Does this parser support Quartz cron expressions?
No. It accepts the common five-field Unix format and does not support Quartz seconds, years, question marks, or other Quartz-only syntax.
Which time zone is used for upcoming runs?
The preview uses the time zone selected in the tool. Changing it can change the displayed local time without changing the cron fields.
Does this tool schedule or run a job?
No. It only explains and previews an expression in your browser; it does not connect to a scheduler.
