How it works
Standard cron has five fields: minute, hour, day of the month, month and day of the week. Each field accepts single values, lists separated by commas, ranges with a hyphen and steps with a slash.
Shortcuts such as @hourly, @daily, @weekly and @monthly are expanded to their five-field equivalents before being explained.
