Crontab

The crontab command, which is found in Unix opterating systems, is used to schedule commands to be executed periodically. It reads a series of commands and collects them into a file known as a "crontab," which is later read and executed. The name comes from the Greek chronos, meaning time.

Cron jobs, or scheduled jobs, can be through cPanel or shell.
