Creating, Editing, And Deleting Cron Jobs
Cron jobs are commands that have been scheduled to run at specific times. cPanel has a "Cron Jobs" tool which will help you set up maintenance and other server duties.
Note: Cron Jobs require knowledge of Linux commands before you attempt to implement them! We recommend that you submit a ticket with your script so that we can doublecheck it before you implement it.
