How to Edit or Delete Cronjob via cPanel?  Print this Article

Overview:

Cron jobs are scheduled tasks that the system runs at predefined times or intervals. Typically, a cron job contains a series of simple tasks that the system runs from a script file.

Important:
  • Exercise caution when you schedule cron jobs. We recommend that you allow enough time between cron jobs for the previous cron job to complete. If you schedule them to run too often, the server could start another cron job before the last cron job ends. This duplication may degrade performance.

  • For more information about cron jobs, read Red Hat’s Scheduling a Cron Job documentation.
