Cron is a scheduling daemon that executes tasks at specified intervals. These tasks are called cron jobs and are mostly used to automate system maintenance or administration.

For example, you could set a cron job to backup your databases or data, update your system with the latest security patches, check your disk space usage, send emails and more. Some applications, such as Drupal or Magento requires cron jobs to perform certain functions.

You can schedule cron jobs to run by minute, hour, day of the month, month, day of the week or any combination of these.
