What is Crontool?
Sometimes, even a single cron can be hard to visualize over several months. This tool is designed to give you peace of mind, rather than waiting weeks to discover that something isn't quite right.
Despite its simplicity, cron can become quite complex for many common use cases. Not anymore! We now have a multi-cron view that merges any number of crons into a single calendar—you can even upload an entire cron file!
Compared to other similar tools, this one supports both standard cron (Linux users—vixie) and modern extended cron expressions, so you might find it in newer cron implementations or cloud services like AWS Lambda, CloudWatch, and more.
This includes:
- Optional support for seconds and years
- Support for L, W, and LW values
- Support for the ? value
- Support for the # value
- More help and documentation for beginners, including Q&A with examples for multiple crons
- Support for marking and debugging multiple crons simultaneously in the calendar
How to use Crontool?
