A Minor crontab Issue #94

@sudo-sc

Description

@sudo-sc

I came across this project today and tested it, and although this is a 3-year-old project, it still works in 2025 (iPhone 17 era) 👍.

One minor suggestion is that, I am not sure of the use of the question mark in "cronExpressions": "*/12 * * * * ?" (config.json).

This might be parser-dependent but it is likely deemed invalid on Ubuntu and maybe other distributions with built-in crontab, causing the program to fetch inventory at every second - crontab ignored the leading expression.

Removing the question mark would fix the problem.

"cronExpressions": "*/12 * * * * ?" -> fetches at every second
"cronExpressions": "*/12 * * * *" -> fetches at every 12th minute

Maybe a reminder in readme.md would help clear things up.
