Quartz scheduler : JOB Executed more than once - quartz-scheduler

Question

I am using quartz scheduler to schedule my job. I have used CronTrigger. But the problem is there the trigger is getting fired more once. Here is my code to set up cron scheduler..
SchedulerFactory schFactory = new StdSchedulerFactory();
Scheduler sched = null;
CronTrigger cronTrigger = null;
try {
sched = schFactory.getScheduler();
JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("job1", "group1",SchedulerPBGC.class);
String cronTimerStr = "* 16 15 * * ? *";
LOG.warn("CRON TRIGGER FORMAT FOR PROCESSING PB GC DATA:"+cronTimerStr);
cronTrigger = new CronTrigger("SchedTrigger", "Group1", cronTimerStr);
sched.scheduleJob(jobDetail, cronTrigger);
sched.start();
LOG.warn("SCHEDULER REGISTERED FOR PROCESSING PB GC DATA : TIME :"+cronTimerStr);
} catch (SchedulerException se) {
LOG.error("SchedulerException Message::"+se.getLocalizedMessage());
}
Here my scheduler executes the job 10 times...Here you can see the logs ..

How can i set the CronTimer iterator to 1 ? OR How can I stop the scheduler to executing the job more than once.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,

Answer 1

I got the solution ..
The cron syntax I have used is : String cronTimerStr = "* 16 15 * * ? *";
Here at 15:16 time, Quartz will initialize all possible workers for every second. So let say within that one minute (# 16 min and 60 second), it will initialize maximum 60 threads.
I set the second parameter to zero.
So the new syntax is "0 16 15 * * ? *".
Now it works fine.
