    A cron job is used to schedule an event (such as executing a specific script) to happen on a one-time, or regular basis.

    The best place for PHP manuals: www.php.net

    a cron job is simply a way to schedule an event on the server. You can for example have a script that runs nightly to check for customers birthdays and send them an email to wish them happy birthday.

    "Scheduled Tasks" in windows = "Cron" in unix/linux

    It's a way to run a particular program ad pre-scheduled recurring intervals.
