Cron Expression (Quartz) for a program to run every midnight at 12 am

What is the cron expression in Quartz Scheduler to run a program at 12 am every midnight GMT.

I have never used quartz before so I am still learning.

Is the expression 0 0 12 * * ? or is that for 12 pm (noon). Could anyone tell me?

Cron job every night at midnight is a commonly used cron schedule. We created Cronitor because cron itself can't alert you if your jobs fail or never start. Cronitor is easy to integrate and provides you with instant alerts when things go wrong. Learn more about cron job monitoring.

1 Seconds 2 Minutes 3 Hours 4 Day-of-Month 5 Month 6 Day-of-Week 7 Year (optional field)

So in your case:

0 0 0 * * ?

This will fire at midnight, if you want to fire at noon:

0 0 12 * * ?

Or both:

0 0 0,12 * * ?

A good page if you want to get more complicated: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/tutorial-lesson-06
