What are cron jobs?

Cron jobs are routines that execute a script on any given interval.

For instance, you may have a script that cleans files from a directory or updates a certain database and need to run that script every few hours. This would be accomplished with a cron job, because the cron job would execute the same script however often you tell it to run.
