mistakesCommon mistakes

Using "/10" instead of "*/10". Without the asterisk there is no start value.
Mixing up a 10-minute step with a 10-minute offset, which would be "0 5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * *".

Questions

How do I run a Spring job every 10 minutes?: Use @Scheduled(cron = "0 */10 * * * *"). The minute field steps by 10 and the seconds field anchors the run to the start of the minute.
