Cron (Cron Jobs)

Cron is the ability to run programs based on the server clock. A cron job is a scheduled task that you want to automatically run at a scheduled time, e.g. run my backup at 7:30pm everyday. You need to create a cron table or "crontab", a file of dates and commands that you want to run. A crontab file instructs the server to run specific commands at a given time.

For more information on using Cron, please visit our Cron Manual.
