How to automatically run a command periodically with Cron daemon.
Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration, though its general-purpose nature means that it can be used for other purposes, such as connecting to the Internet and downloading email.

Cron daemon is the Unix and GNU/Linux equivalent to Scheduled Tasks in Windows.
