for more information on mcron job specifications. Below is the
reference of the mcron service.
On a running system, you can use the @code{schedule} action of the service to
visualize the mcron jobs that will be executed next:
@example
# herd schedule mcron
@end example
@noindent
The example above lists the next five tasks that will be executed, but you can
also specify the number of tasks to display:
@example
# herd schedule mcron 10
@end example
