⭐ Suggestion

Discussion #960

Currently, node-cron depends on child_process to execute string-based commands, which prevents it from being used in browser environments.

I propose completely removing the child_process dependency to enhance browser compatibility and make node-cron more versatile across different platforms.

Use Cases

Running node-cron in a browser-based environment.
