Cron Sandbox processing . . .

Enter a crontab command string (five items, space separated: mm hh D M DoW), and click 'Run'.
In the left column you will see the future dates and times that your cron job would run.
'Run' an empty box to return to the start-up demonstration values.


MinsHrsDayMthDoW
0523**mon,wed,fri

Reminder of the format... mm hh D M DoW
mm - the minute, a value between 0 and 59
hh - the hour, a value between 0 and 23
D - day of the month, between 1 and 31
M - month, a value between 1 and 12
DoW - day-of-the-week, 0-6 (0 = Sunday)

Each of the five items can be more complex...
A '*' means use all values.
Multiples: e.g. every 20 mins would be '0,20,40'.
Range: e.g. hourly in the evening '19-23'.
Every nth '0-23/n', '*/2' would be every other.

Month can be just the first three letters of the name,
so 'mar,jun,sep,dec' or '3,6,9,12' or '3-12/3'
would all give you quarterly reports.

The Day-of-the-Week can be e.g. 'mon,wed,fri'.
