Adding a cron job in advanced mode
Cron jobs allow you to automate certain commands or scripts on your server to complete repetitive tasks automatically. A cron job allows you to run a certain command at times set by the job. For example, you could set a cron job to delete temporary files every week so that your disk space is not being used up by those files. Advanced mode allows you to add a cron job just as you would from the command line. The software utility Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. People who want to use and maintain software environments use Cron to schedule their jobs.
