Cron Job Usage & Policy

What Is a Cron Job?

Cron Job is a standard Linux utility which we use to schedule a command or script to run automatically at a specified time and date. It is like the schedule task in Windows. Cron is very useful for repetitive tasks as we can delete temporary files, modify files or databases regularly at a specified time and send the report by email.

Cron Job’s time interval:

Usually you can set cron job every minute, hour, day of the wekk, day of the month, month or any combination of these.

Dhaka Web Host limits cron job to run in 15 minutes interval on Shared server as too much cron jobs may cause high loads on the server.
