Cronjob Settings – Plesk Control Panel

A Cron Job is a process that is executed by your web hosting server, in the background.

Cron jobs are used for very important tasks such as the ones listed below:

• Sending emails
• Routinely marking invoices as due, overdue, etc.
• Send invoice reminders.
• Cleaning up the system and the database.
• Generating recurring invoices, when they fall due.
• and much much more……
