Current Behavior
I managed to put my NetAlertX running in Home Assistant into an infinite loop today by a simple typeo. In the cron settings for the MQTT scanner, i put the schedule to "/30 * * * *" and it just started hanging the GUI. The home page would load, but that's about it. When I looked at the log file it was spewing the same series of lines over and over and over. I don't actually have the log anymore, but it was starting the scanners and bombed when it got to the MQTT scanner over and over. The GUI didn't work correctly so I was unable to quickly correct it. i had to figure out how to edit the file in the docker container to fix it once i realized what the logs were telling me.
Expected Behavior
If the format of my schedule is incorrect, don't assign it and warn user.
