What are Cron Jobs? Print

  • 0

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.
