Cronv can parse your crontab from stdin like as follows:

$ crontab -l | cronv -o ./my_cron_schedule.html -d 24h

Cronv can parse cron entry written in basic cron format. You can see the basically crontab specofication in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#CRON_expression.

Examples

Analyze crontab for 6 hours (by default) from now, , output html file to default path:

$ crontab -l | cronv

For 1 day from now, output html file to default path:

$ crontab -l | cronv -d 1d

For 12 hours from 21:00, today:

$ crontab -l | cronv --from-time 21:00 -d 12h

For 30 minuts from now, output html file to path/to/output.html:

$ crontab -l | cronv -d 30m -o path/to/output.html

For 2 hours from 2016/12/24 17:30, output html file to path/to/output2.html:

$ crontab -l | cronv --from-date '2016/12/24' --from-time 17:30 -d 2h -o path/to/output2.html

With original title/label:

$ crontab -l | cronv -d 1d -t "crontab@`hostname`"  # title/label of html file will be 'crontab@myhost'

With width to spread output table:

$ crontab -l | cronv -o path/to/output2.html -w 180 # table width be 180% of the screen width (100% by default)

$ crontab -l | cronv -o path/to/output2.html -w 75 # be 75% of the screen width
