This video will show you how to use/create a Cron Job using the CronTab Command on Linux and Schedule a Task to run at some given interval.

The reason to learn about cron is because it’s a time-based scheduling utility that allows you to schedule various jobs/tasks to run periodically or even on special system events. It’s fairly easy to use and comes with most Linux Based Distributions. Instead of having to daemonizie a task/process you can simply just make a call to it using Cron.
