in thread cron-explain.pl -- cron next appointments

I personally do want to see all the jobs for the day (regardless of visual space constraints). The cat crontab.txt | perl cron-explain.pl [-n 3] output seem odd to me for 21 * * * * job would be running many times over before the next one listed with time of 0,30 6 * * *.

In any case, sooner or later I am bound to change the original to list every single event time from the current time for rest of the current day (default; or, any other date via option).

Rethinking .... No, that default is horrendous! Above mentioned default behavior should be available via another option. Default mode should show the the event & the first time it was ran and/or will run next for the day (undecided); along with explanation of the time/frequency (as in "once a day at x:y pm" or "4/day every 5 hours", etc.).
