Cron is a job scheduler that works on Unix\Linux hosting. It allows you to automatically perform certain actions on the server (running programs, scripts, etc.) at a specified time or frequency.
To ensure the proper functioning of the MetaSite CMS system, it is necessary to create a cron entry to perform the system functions of the website. The system has many tasks that need to be executed at specific times, such as sending notifications to users, promoting ads, generating reports, importing and exporting data, loading countries and cities, and more.
