Midnight Every Day Cron Expression

The most-typed schedule in cron history: minute 0 of hour 0, every day — the standard slot for nightly backups, log rotation, and cache resets. It’s exactly what the @daily alias expands to. One caution: half the internet runs jobs at 00:00, so shifting a few minutes (7 0 * * *) can dodge the thundering herd.
