Quartz cron expression for cron triggers executed every Nth Hour/Day/Week/Month

问题

I am developing an application that gives the user the ability to schedule some activity. Inputs that are provided by user are

1. Value of N
2. Option amongst Hour/Day/Week/Month
3. Start Date
4. Start Time

I am unable to get the cron expressions right for each of the repeat interval type i.e. Hour/Day/Week/Month so that the trigger time is calculated from the start date.

Quartz documentation suggests using a SimpleTrigger http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/docs/cookbook/BiDailyTrigger.html, an example for every other day:

Trigger trigger = new SimpleTrigger("trigger1", "group1");
trigger.setRepeatCount(SimpleTrigger.REPEAT_INDEFINITELY);
// 24 hours * 60(minutes per hour) * 60(seconds per minute) * 1000(milliseconds per second)
trigger.setRepeatInterval(2L * 24L * 60L * 60L * 1000L);

Note that you will need to set the trigger start time and the misfire rule.

I think is a good start of how to configure triggers:
