Cron Job Manager
Cron jobs
Cron jobs are an advanced developer feature that allow you to automate certain commands or scripts on your site. You can set a command or script to run at a specific time every day, week, etc
Because of the complexity and limited use of Cron, by default it is not displayed within your cPanel. Simply open a support ticket to request free upgrade to hosting 1000 advanced and the new Icons will appear in your cPanel along with other developer features.
