day (week) cron job column is non-standard

[th0mcat]

When using a cron job that declares a value in the day (week) column (!remindme cron 13 8,10,12,14,16 * * 1-5; Get up, take a break, get some water), 1-5 reflects Tuesday-Saturday instead of the cron "standard" of Monday-Friday. See: https://crontab.guru/#13_8,10,12,14,16_*_*_1-5

from man 5 scrontab on debian:

day of week    0–7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

(confirms your standard)

Does it only display Tue-Sat or also fire Tue-Sat?

With PR #83 (change of the displaying library) applied: `!remindme cron 13 8 * * 1; Get up, take a break, get some water` > At 08:13 every Monday (13 8 * * 1); next run in 6 days; "Get up, take a break, get some water"

actually the parsing seems to work same in both libraries, it's only a parser issue when setting up the reminder.

Okay, so it looks like setting a single day (I.e. * 9 * * 2) and commas (* 9 * * 2,3,4) work just fine, so it looks like the issue is setting a range.

Running a command for Wednesday on Tuesday returns this message:
At 11:10 every Tuesday (10 11 * * 2); next run in 23 hours; "test for Chagai"

adding a reminder for cron 10 11 * * 2 like that and listing it afterwards prints the above line for me.
To point out what's wrong here:

• 0 or 7 is Sun -> 2 should be Tuesday which it prints correctly
• it is currently Tuesday and will be Wednesday "in 23 hours". this is in line with the original issue of the day-of-week value being delayed by +1d
