Cron Jobs are scheduled tasks that are executed automatically at predefined intervals.
They are used for:
- Automated CMS functions (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal)
- Executing scripts (PHP, Python, Bash)
- Taking backups
- Clearing cache
- Sending email reports
- Synchronization tasks
- Queue runners (e.g. Laravel queue worker)
You can manage cron jobs per website or user, depending on the hosting package.
