Cron Job Elements

Most cron jobs include three components:

  • The script that is to be called or executed.
  • The command that executes the script on a recurring basis (typically set in the cPanel).
  • The action or output of the script (which depends on what the script does).

Most scripts that require the use of a cron job will give you specific setup instructions. If you are unsure, check with the author of your script before adding a cron job.
