Awesome! Let me know how it works for you. YML might be an idea, I just can’t think of a better way to define recurring date/times (not to mention it makes translation to crontab format crazy easy). I guess I’m used to it too. Any ideas?

Very smart! I’m for sure going to use this on Making the Chain. What do you think about a friendlier format like a YML file? Maybe it’s just me but I alway have to read a crontab definition five times to be sure it’ll do what i think it’s going to do.
