cron schedule expressions instead of minutes #98

Not sure when it does the leader-boards exactly. If set to 720 minutes, does that mean it wont do the first one until 12 hours after the time I last started the server?; Meaning that it could possibly go days without a leader-board post if the server is restarted?

Would it be easy to switch from minutes to cron schedule expressions?

0 6,18 https://crontab.guru/#0_6,18_**

This way we could have the leader-boards post at specific times even if the servers restart... It wouldn't be limited to an interval either then; Could easily do 08:30 and 17:15 using cron schedule expressions (I would just include a link to https://crontab.guru for those unfamiliar)

EDIT: with this I could even set it up so it only does it on Wednesdays and Sundays at noon which would be amazing 0 12 3,7

This is a nice to have and doable with some extra settings (probably). Have to be able to find out what time it is and schedule an interval from that -- or at least that's how I'd do it off the top of my head.

Right now it is true that the setting for the timer is simply set as an interval from when the server starts.. so server restart makes it start from 0 instead of how long it had been.
