Cron Expression Builder & Translator

Format: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week. Lists, ranges and steps supported.
Plain English
Expression:

Next 5 fire times

#Date / timeIn
How the math works

Each field is parsed into the set of allowed values. * = all, 1-5 = range, */5 = step, 1,15,30 = list. Next-fire times are found by walking forward minute-by-minute and checking field membership, with day-of-month / day-of-week OR semantics when both are restricted (Unix standard).
