Task: What Is Cronjob?

Hello, in this post I will mention what is Cronjob, how and where it is used.

Firstly, Cronjob is used to manage time efficiently in Unix-based systems. For example, you can command /home directory to create a file every minute.

CRONTAB COMMANDS

crontab -e (open the normal user's crontab file)
sudo su crontab -e (open the Root user's crontab file)
crontab -r (Remove Crontab commands)

Sample Crontab Input

crontab -e 
1 (nano editor)
* * * * * mkdir medium

Where is Cronjob Used?

Almost everywhere that needs automation, like in time-defined commands, cronjob can be used.

At Every Minute Input
To create an output at every minute, we use five asterisk symbols as shown below.
