<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> <p>This module is a quick and dirty way to determine if a cron time format is valid for the current date and time.</p> <p>A cron entry follows the cron format from crontab(5).</p> <p>The validate_time function uses the current date and time for comparison, but will also accept a valid DateTime object as a parameter.</p> <p>
