What is a Cron Job & Crontab?

A cron job is a time-based task that is set to run at specific intervals. These jobs are usually used for maintenance or automation purposes. For example, a cron job could be set to delete temporary files every week so that they don’t take up space on the server.

The crontab is a file that contains instructions for the cron daemon. The crontab is typically edited using the crontab command.

Every cron job uses five fields. Here is an explanation of what each field does in this cron, which runs “every 10 days at 1:00 pm“:

Field 1: (0) indicates that the task will be run at minute 0.

Field 2: (13) indicates that the task will be run at hour 13 (1 pm).

Field 3: (*/10) indicates that the task will be run every 10 days.

Field 4: (*) indicates that the task will be run every month.
