About Cron Jobs
What is Cron?
The software utility Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Users typically use cron to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.
Common Pitfalls
- Timezones: Servers often run in UTC. Always check your server time before scheduling critical tasks.
- Environment: Cron runs with a minimal shell environment. Always use absolute paths (`/usr/bin/node`) instead of relative ones.
