Cron jobs are scheduled tasks that run commands or scripts at predefined times or intervals. Open cPanel → Advanced → Cron Jobs when the feature is enabled.
A cron schedule consists of minute, hour, day, month, and weekday fields plus the command to execute. cPanel also provides common schedule presets.
Schedule tasks far enough apart that a previous run can finish before the next starts. cPanel specifically warns that overlapping cron executions can degrade performance.
