Hi! I have a problem with getting cron based timers to start running. The rules compiles just fine it's just that the timer never executes the rule. When I use "timer ( int: 1m )" it works fine but not with cron timers. My rule looks like the following: rule "whatever" timer(cron:* 0/1 * * * ?) when .. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/cron-timer-not-running-tp3567205p356720...

Thanks for answering. I expect the condition of the rule to be evaluated every minute by the cron timer. Yes the condition is true, that's why I'm puzzled. Maybe I have just misunderstood the way that timers work. What I want to achieve is: I want an event to represent a window in time and every minute that window is replaced by a new one. I want to be able to track a certain type of event that has happened during this window in time. I'm not looking for sliding windows.
