    Cron (scheduled tasks)

    Cron is the Linux/UNIX equivalent of Scheduled Tasks under Windows.

    Basically you can time tasks to be regularly carried out day to day.

    We have a few here including one that calls a script to automatically backup the database and Vbulletin folder everyday at a minute past midnight EU time and another that checks to see if any backups are older than 7 days and delete those that are.

    To view or update Cron enter
    Code:
    crontab -e
    at the command prompt. You can save and exit using your text editor's regular controls.
