Cron Expression Helper: Schedule Jobs Easily

Write and debug Cron expressions for scheduling tasks. Our helper translates complex cron strings into human-readable descriptions.

Introduction

Cron is the standard scheduler for Unix-like systems. But writing cron expressions (like `0 0 * * *`) is intuitive for almost no one. TekToolHub's **Cron Helper** translates these cryptic strings into plain English.

How Cron Works

A cron expression consists of 5 fields:

  1. **Minute** (0-59)
  2. **Hour** (0-23)
  3. **Day of Month** (1-31)
  4. **Month** (1-12)
  5. **Day of Week** (0-6)

How to Use

  1. **Type Expression:** Enter a cron string (e.g., `*/5 * * * *`).
  2. **Read Description:** See "Every 5 minutes" instantly.
  3. **Next Run:** Check the upcoming execution times to verify your schedule.
