👈🏼 ✋🏻 🐄 Custom crontab file: examples, description and reviews 🙇🏻 🏽 🍅

The Cron software utility is a time task scheduler on Unix-like computer operating systems. Users who configure and maintain software environments use Cron to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at specific times, dates, or intervals. It usually automates the maintenance or administration of the system, although its universal nature makes it useful for things such as downloading files from the Internet and updating e-mail at regular intervals. The origin of the name cron from the Greek word "in time" is χρόνος (chronos).
