I want to trigger a cronjob at below timings every day 9 a.m. EST, 1 p.m. EST, 10 p.m. EST
Also do we have any other option than cron expression so that client can change this timing easily?
Regards, Rasika
Define "easily"! :D
Instead of cronexpression, in Impex you can do such:
INSERT_UPDATE Trigger; cronJob(code)[unique = true] ; second; minute; hour; day; month; year; relative; active ; maxAcceptableDelay
; $siteUid-CartRemovalJob ; 0 ; 5 ; 4 ; -1 ; -1 ; -1 ; false ; true; -1
But I use cronexpressions...
To be honest, I would say that there can not be an easier language with same expression scale.
Maybe show your customer this: http://www.cronmaker.com/
You need to create three triggers as follows:
INSERT_UPDATE Trigger; cronjob(code)[unique=true]; cronExpression[unique=true]
;your-cronjob-code; 0 0 9 1/1 * ? *
;your-cronjob-code; 0 0 13 1/1 * ? *
;your-cronjob-code; 0 0 22 1/1 * ? *
Note that Hybris Cron Job uses Quartz library and you can learn more about cron expressions at http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.3.0/tutorials/crontrigger.html
There are some good websites which help you to create cron expression easily:

The Hybris backoffice application provides a UI for the business users to create a trigger without using an ImpEx but unfortunately, it too requires a cron expression.
The earlier tool, hMC (shown below) used to provide a nice UI for business users to create a trigger without using a cron expression.
