How to Create Cron on Linux or Unix

Cron Daemon is a computer program or a long-running process that runs commands as a background process instead of being directly controlled by an active user. The daemon regularly checks the file:

/etc/crontab

and the location of the files or directories:

/etc/cron.*/
/var/spool/cron/ 
/var/spool/cron/crontabs

You need to add Crontab commands for you to make changes to the cron jobs.
