Supports standard 5-field Unix cron: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. Accepts numbers, *, lists, ranges, steps and 3-letter month/day names. It does not support seconds, @ aliases or L W #, and does not validate every scheduler's dialect (Quartz, AWS and others differ).

About this tool
Cron schedules jobs with five fields. Always test a new schedule in your own scheduler, because time zones and dialects differ between systems.
