Cron Expression for Every 5 Minutes (AWS EventBridge)

import cron from 'node-cron';

cron.schedule('0 0/5 * * * *', () => {
  console.log('Running task...');
});

from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
from apscheduler.triggers.cron import CronTrigger

sched = BlockingScheduler()
sched.add_job(task, CronTrigger.from_crontab('0/5 * * * *'))

Converted to the standard 5-field crontab syntax that Linux, GitHub Actions, and APScheduler expect.
