There are some kinds of date triggers cron is good at. Every N days is often not one of them. For instance, if you use something like this:
0 0 6,18 */14 * ?
You might get something like this:
As you can see, the 29th, followed by the 1st -- not exactly fourteen days apart.
It's useful to have something that lets you play with the expression and see the resulting dates. CronMaker can do that, if that's helpful.
However, since you say you are using Quartz, it supports other kinds of triggers, like DateIntervalTrigger that might be better suited for what you're looking for?
