One signal

A community plugin for Hermes Agent translates cron expressions into plain language and shows the next five scheduled run times. Its example clears up a classic scheduling trap: 0 9 1 1 runs on the first of the month and every Monday, not just the first Monday.

The plugin, crontab-ref, is the work of Hermes community creator Witcheer. It also explains what each field means, so users can check a schedule without deciphering the stars by hand. A small, handy tool for anyone who has ever set a job to run on Monday and discovered the calendar had other ideas.

Discuss: For scheduling jobs, would you trust a plain-language explanation, or do you still want to verify every cron expression yourself?
