In short, Cron Jobs are commands that can be programmed to run on the server at a certain time. For example, if you want a CGI script to run every Monday morning, you can do so through cron jobs.

For running a chron job, values such as the minute, hour, day, month and day of the week can be set (Monday-Sunday: numbers 0 or 7 represent Sunday). Any value can be ignored by placing an asterisk (*) in the text field. Cron jobs can be created directly from DirectAdmin.
