Hello,

var { job } = require('cron')
job('* * * * * *', () => { run() }, null, true)

this makes a typescript error in vscode:

Argument of type '"* * * * * *"' is not assignable to parameter of type '(string & CronJobParameters) | (Date & CronJobParameters) | (Moment & CronJobParameters)'.ts(2345)

@francoisromain wrong package. You mentioned authors of types for node-cron (https://github.com/node-cron/node-cron) and you're using cron (https://github.com/kelektiv/node-cron). You either installed wrong types (are you using @types/cron?) or just mentioned wrong authors

Oups. I edited the message to fix it. I hope authors will receive a mention.

Just to be sure: @horiuchi @WinUP, someone needs you! :D
