Description

Finds mistakes in system crontab files before scheduled jobs fail silently. It is useful for administrators who maintain cron automation and want to catch syntax errors, invalid schedules, or common configuration problems.

It reads cron definitions and reports issues from the terminal. Fixes should still be reviewed carefully because cron jobs can run commands with broad permissions at scheduled times.
