Common Azure Functions schedules
Six NCRONTAB fields with seconds first. Both day fields must match, which lets Azure say “first Monday” where cron cannot. 42 of these 47 schedules can be written directly in Azure; the rest link to a tested workaround. Field rules are in the Azure Functions reference.
