    Cron syntax cheatsheet
    • * — any value
    • 5 — exactly 5
    • 1-5 — range, inclusive
    • 1,3,5 — list
    • */5 — every 5 (starting at the field's minimum)
    • 10-30/5 — every 5 within a range
    • Month and day-of-week accept names: jan–dec, sun–sat
    • Day-of-week: 0 and 7 both mean Sunday
    • If both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, this tool treats it as OR (Vixie cron / most cron daemons)
