    CRON – Automatically Run Jobs on Your Website


    (Page 1 of 4 )

    Sometimes you have repetitive jobs to run on your website.Most web servers have a function that will schedule and run jobs automatically for you. Just set up the schedule and let it run on autopilot.

    CRON is a function in Unix and Linux operating systems which allows you to schedule a job and the job will run at the date and time scheduled until you delete the CRON statement.

    Initially, you may consider this to be too technical for you, but not so if you will carefully read this article. It is a function of which you should be aware. Even if you do not need it now, remember about CRON for the day you will need it.

    Apache server includes this function and it is easy to use with the graphical interface.
