Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. 'cron' is short for Chronograph.
Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run automatically at a certain time or date. It is commonly used to perform system maintenance or administration, though its general purpose nature means that it can be used for other purposes, such as connecting to the Internet and downloading email.
Some examples include -
- Emailing clients or users
