Cron jobs are timetabled tasks, which run on regular intervals of time pre-set by the end user and they also execute scripts developed in different programming languages - PHP, Perl, Bash, and the like. In accordance with what actually a cron needs to do, it may run each and every minute, every week or maybe once per year. There are lots of useful applications to employ cron jobs in your day-to-day administration of a site. Such as, a backup copy of the whole website may be generated every day or perhaps weekly or an e-mail message with all of the recent signups for the day may be delivered to a given email. Such automatic options will make the administration of every website faster and easier. There won't be any particular file types that are allowed or forbidden, so any script can be run by using a cron job.
