CRON Lingo
CronLingo turns human readable strings about time and turns them into valid crontabs.
Examples:
Syntax
CronLingo identifies the parts of a string with specific time-related keywords such as "on, to, at" and uses this to deduce the time meaning and convert it into part of a cron tab. It's not particular about the order of these statements. Here's a brief list of things that it will pick up and parse into a crontab:
- Periods (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Exact times (9:30 PM, 8a, 3p)
- Meridiems (AM/PM/A/P)
- Intervals (1st, second, other, ninth, etc)
- Specific fields (second, minute, hour, day, month)
- Day of week (sunday, monday, etc)
- 12 o'clocks (noon, midnight)
- Lists (e.g., 5 to 12 minutes)
- Month names (january, february, etc)
- Weekend / weekday
What's a cron tab?
A cron tab is an expression that defines a recurring period of time.
It looks something like this:
From Wikipedia:
The software utility Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. People who set up and maintain software environments use cron to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. It typically automates system maintenance or administration—though its general-purpose nature makes it useful for things like connecting to the Internet and downloading email at regular intervals.
