How can I generate a cron expression for my scheduled publishes?

When setting up scheduled publishes, one option is to provide a cron expression.

Cascade CMS uses Quartz for scheduling, so the syntax differs slightly from other applications where you may have set up cron tasks. To generate compatible expressions, use CronMaker.
