Use Cron Jobs To Automate Tasks or Update Your Website

all about cron jobs Automatically run scripts or commands for your site by setting up a
cron job.” (A bit of trivia: “cron” is short for chronograph.”) Your cron job will run on the server at times and intervals set by the job.

A cron job can automate a repetitive task. For example, a cron job can periodically delete all mail in an email account to reduce the amount of disk space used. A cron job can also “rotate” log files.

A cron job can even be used to make changes to your website. The quote of the day and blog of the day are each updated every day by a cron job.

Cron jobs give you great flexibility in the times and intervals they can be set to run. You can set minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week in various ways to fine-tune how frequently or infrequently your job runs.
