WTF is a Cronjob?

Please excuse my ignorance... but what the fuck does a cronjob do?

Again dont laugh...but can on be not working properly?

Is it an either "works" or "doesnt work" sort of thing?

A cron job is kind of like a task manager. It will execute tasks at given times. It will either work or not work. There is no in between. Here's a good tutorial.

Hey Exxxotica,
Long time no speak.

I found another article for you here. http://www.aota.net/Script_Installat.../cronhelp.php4

An example of how you could use is to run a gallery submission tool everyday.

Hope it helps.
Also, I finally got the MySQL DBase set up on BornAgain-Christians, so now we can start trading proper.

I'll set it up when I get home.

I think because it does a "job" in a "cron"-ological order. The tiem comes for a job to be executed, and the cronjob runs the command.

Cron = Chronological
Job = Job

"Java"?
"Perl"?
"Bill Gates"?

My favorite term is webmaster.

You know that name was invinted by some idiot losers back in the day. They were nerds in school, and when they started making money online, they called themselves WebMasters, to sound all powerful in their little bullshit chat rooms. And now were stuck with the term.

I say we all change our titles to "Digital Pimp" It's more accurate.

I sell Pussy online.
