   * The node-cron core allows only numbers (including multiple numbers e.g 1,2).

   * Month names example:
   *  - expression 0 1 1 January,Sep *
   *  - Will be translated to 0 1 1 1,9 *
   *
   * Week day names example:
   *  - expression 0 1 1 2 Monday,Sat
   *  - Will be translated to 0 1 1 1,5 *
   *
   * Ranges example:
   *  - expression 1-5 * * * *
   *  - Will be translated to 1,2,3,4,5 * * * *
