What is Cron?
Cron is the time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates.
How it works?
Cron is driven by a crontab (cron table) file, a configuration file that specifies shell commands to run periodically on a given schedule.
