Azure Function Job that will never executes

Question

I am trying to populate a CRON expression that will pretend to be never executed(at least not in this life time).

I went through this SO question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8324306/cron-job-that-will-never-execute

But each expression in that question gives an exception Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Error indexing method 'Cleanup'. Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions: The schedule expression '0 0 5 31 2 ?' was not recognized as a valid cron expression or timespan string.

What are the possible expressions that will fullfill the above mentioned expectation with regard to Azure Functions?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You cannot set never per algorithm, but a leap year with Saturday 29th gives a 28-year gap.

0 0 0 29 Feb Sat

as the first time around this will happen again is 2048.

Good enough?
