The 0 7 * * * brew coffee mug
The Scheduled Caffeine cron mug from merch drop 7: a cron line that runs at 7:00 every day and has never failed. Sizes, prices and how to read the five fields.
The Scheduled Caffeine Cron Mug carries one cron line: 0 7 * * * brew coffee. It runs every day at 7:00 and it has never once failed, which is more than most scheduled jobs can say.
Reading the line
The five fields before the command are minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week:
| field | value | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| minute | 0 | on the hour |
| hour | 7 | 7 AM |
| day of month | * | every day |
| month | * | every month |
| day of week | * | every day of the week |
So: minute 0 of hour 7, every day. "Scheduled caffeine" sits on the pill underneath, and the design is printed on both sides so it reads right in either hand.

The scheduled jobs that matter more than coffee
The jobs that hurt when they silently stop are backups. A nightly job that reports OK can still be skipping guests you created after it was set up. Never Lose Your Data covers 3-2-1 with vzdump and Proxmox Backup Server, an off-site copy, restore drills and alerts for jobs that quietly stop running. The free sample is a good place to start.

The mug is in the merch store with the rest of drop 7 and every earlier design on the merch page.
