• nothing get any response. – Kaushik Makwana Commented Apr 5, 2016 at 10:09
• There needs to be one more * at the end of the input string if I'm not wrong. Add it and check the response. – Parthapratim Neog Commented Apr 5, 2016 at 10:09
• yes..you are right but how can i run every hours? i need to like * * /1 * * * * or not? – Kaushik Makwana Commented Apr 5, 2016 at 10:13

Try this :

var schedule = require('node-schedule');
var rule = new schedule.RecurrenceRule();
rule.hour = 1;
var intMail = schedule.scheduleJob(rule, function(){
      console.log('its run');
});

You can use other rules to set like :

*    *    *    *    *    *
┬    ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬
│    │    │    │    │    |
│    │    │    │    │    └ day of week (0 - 7) (0 or 7 is Sun)
│    │    │    │    └───── month (1 - 12)
│    │    │    └────────── day of month (1 - 31)
│    │    └─────────────── hour (0 - 23)
│    └──────────────────── minute (0 - 59)
└───────────────────────── second (0 - 59, OPTIONAL)

Here's another example using other rules:

var j = schedule.scheduleJob({hour: 14, minute: 30, dayOfWeek: 0}, function(){
    console.log('Time for tea!');
});

More examples can be found here

The crontab config should be 0 */'+mailTimer+' * * *.

There needs to be one more * at the end of the input string if I'm not wrong. Add it and check the response. For one hour you can use * * 1 * * *
