Works like Linux cron jobs in the format `second minute hour day month weekday`. Put the number (or name of month or weekday) in each spot. If you want it to run every second, minute, etc. instead of once when it reaches the provided number, use a `*` instead of a number. For instance, to run a job every minute on January 4th, you might use `0 * * 4 January *`. The bot replies with a UUID that can be used to cancel the cron job later.| +|`/unschedule-message <id>`|Stop sending a message with the given id.| |
