What are the five cron fields?
Minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12) and day of week (0-7, where both 0 and 7 mean Sunday).
What does */15 mean?
A step value: "every 15th unit" starting at the field minimum, so */15 in the minute field runs at :00, :15, :30 and :45.
Does this support @daily and @hourly?
Yes. The standard aliases @yearly, @monthly, @weekly, @daily, @midnight and @hourly are expanded before parsing.
