Cron jobs allow you to automate repetitive tasks on the server that hosts
your web site. This is a powerful tool that allows you to take a hands-free
approach to repetitive tasks. For example, you could add a cron job that
automatically copies a mySQL database to a separate location on your site
as a backup.
Warning: You need to have a good knowledge of
Linux commands before you can use cron jobs effectively. Check your script
with your hosting administrator before adding a cron job.
