About Cron Expression Parser
Cron is a Unix-based job scheduling utility that uses a compact expression syntax to define recurring task schedules. A standard cron expression has 5 fields: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12), and day of week (0-7). Extended cron adds a seconds field at the beginning. Special characters: * (every), , (list), - (range), / (step). Common expressions: 0 * * * * (every hour), 0 0 * * * (daily at midnight), 0 0 * * 1 (every Monday). This parser explains any cron expression in plain English.
