Validate 5-field cron expressions, get human-readable descriptions, and see the next 5 scheduled run times.
Examples:
Cron expressions consist of five fields: minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day-of-month (1–31), month (1–12), and day-of-week (0–7, where 0 and 7 are Sunday). Each field supports wildcards (*), ranges (1-5), step values (*/15, 1-30/5), and comma-separated lists (1,3,5). Special strings like @daily, @hourly, and @weekly are shortcuts supported by many cron implementations. Cron is widely used for scheduling recurring tasks on Unix-like systems.
