If you want something more abstract, you might consider using something like a PHP scheduler. For example:

• https://github.com/lavary/crunz
• https://github.com/peppeocchi/php-cron-scheduler

And also, to parse the cron expression, you could use an existing library such as https://github.com/mtdowling/cron-expression. It provides a lot of useful methods to help you figure out information of a cron job.

Hope that helps.
