Crontab Text Explainer

Overview

Crontab-Text-Explainer is a lightweight tool that translates crontab strings into human-readable descriptions. If you've ever wondered what a crontab expression like * * * * * actually means, this tool is for you. It dissects the crontab format and gives a plain language explanation of when your cron job is scheduled to run.
