Cron Parser
Fields: minute hour day(month) month weekday
Make cron expressions understandable
A five-field cron expression defines when a job runs – but */15 9-17 * * 1-5 does not read itself. The parser translates any expression into a plain English sentence, live.
- Five fields: minute, hour, day of month, month, weekday.
- Special characters:
*(every value),*/5(every 5),1-5(range),1,15(list). - Example:
0 3 * * 0= “Every Sunday at 03:00 AM”.
