What is this??

Hello,
my name is Fred and I want to talk about Cronjobs.

cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration, though its general-purpose nature means that it can be used for other purposes, such as connecting to the Internet and downloading email.

Now, if you’re a skilled webmaster you don’t really need me to explain how this can be very useful in many activities regarding the management of a website:

  • To run monthly billing scripts
  • To update an RSS feed
  • To send tweets automatically
  • To cleanup temp files
  • To create a regular database backup
  • To do automated tasks inside of a game
  • The possibilities are ENDLESS!

These are all very useful advanced features. But what if your hosting service is not offering you shell access?

Well, then you meet me. I’m offering you the chance for your script to be visited by us at no charge! Follow the rules to post a request and start getting visited today.

Have fun!
