Crontab Access

All of our web hosting plans include crontab access. Having crontab access allows you to setup scripts or commands to run on a periodic basis. This can be helpful for things like:

  • Running script commands
  • Sending email to a mailing list
  • Deleting temporary files
  • Periodic database maintainence
  • etc...

  • crontab -e

If you need a reference on how to setup crontab entries, type in man crontab on the command line.
