Hi guys
I thought this could be useful for you. As you know cron is very useful to automatically execute any operation on a specific time or an interval of time. In Windows, it is basically known as Windows Scheduler. In Linux Environment, it is known as Cron. Cron is basically installed in servers and we can manage the cron from the server's control panel. But there are some convention of using the cron. There is a file called crontab in the server which contains all the commands that will be executed. As i said, if we have the control panel with cron installed with it, we can do the cron operation. But if we dont have any access to that control panel, then we can easily do it by using some php code that will execute a cron command and a task that needs to be performed.
