Cron jobs are timetabled tasks, which are executed on regular intervals of time set by the end user and they execute scripts developed in several programming languages - PHP, Perl, Bash, and so on. In accordance with what actually a cron needs to do, it may run each minute, every week or maybe each year. There are many effective applications to employ cron jobs in your daily administration of a website. For instance, a backup of the whole website may be generated once a day or once per week or an e-mail message with all of the recent signups for the day can be sent to a specific e-mail address. These types of automatic options can make the administration of every website much easier. There aren't any particular file types that can be allowed / forbidden, so any script can be run by using a cron job.
