Cron Jobs
What's a cron job? What ?job? does a cron job usually perform? How could cron jobs make your online experience quite a bit easier?
A cron job is a command, that works automatically in the background on a pre-set period and it also executes a script inside a web hosting account. There aren't any limitations regarding what the script can be - PHP, Bash, Perl, etcetera, what it can do, or what exactly your file extension should be. Examples are sending a regular report which contains all of the client activity on a given site, creating a routine backup or erasing the files inside a particular folder. These kinds of tasks as well as any other script can be executed on intervals picked by the end user - every couple of minutes, hours or days, and even once per month or perhaps once a year depending on the exact intent. Making use of cron jobs to improve diverse elements of administrating a site saves a lot of time and efforts.
