in thread cron-explain.pl -- cron next appointments

I personally do want to see all the jobs for the day (regardless of visual space constraints). The cat crontab.txt | perl cron-explain.pl [-n 3] output seem odd to me for 21 * * * * job would be running many times over before the next one listed with time of 0,30 6 * * *.

In any case, sooner or later I am bound to change the original to list every single event time from the current time for rest of the current day (default; or, any other date via option).

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Rethinking .... No, that default is horrendous! Above mentioned default behavior should be available via another option.

    Default mode should show the the event & the first time it was ran and/or will run next for the day (undecided); along with explanation of the time/frequency (as in "once a day at x:y pm" or "4/day every 5 hours", etc.).
