What is a Cron Job?

What is a Cron Job? A Cron Job allows you to schedule a command to run at a specific time. They can allow you to automate repetitive tasks or to schedule a task to occur when you are unable to complete it. Cron Jobs are very flexible as they allow you to automate any command that you can run. For example: If you have a script that outputs all new signups for an event you are holding, you may wish to have that output emailed to you once a day or once a week. This script may be called eventattend.cgi and it may be located at /home/user/scripts/eventattend.cgi To get the output mailed to you daily, add a cron job to execute /home/user/scripts/eventattend.cgi every day at a specified time, and be sure to specify the email address that the output should be sent to.

ASUS Lion Square CPU Cooler

Asus has announced the latest Square Series CPU Cooler – the Lion Square. Inspired by the Sword Lion shield, the Lion Square borrows the character of the shield – the impressive face of lion totem, and its spirit, symbolizing strength and courage, to represent the outstanding efficiency of the new launch.

Toyota RiN concept

Designers have lofty goals for their concepts, and the Toyota RiN is no different. With a massive greenhouse, seats that keep your spine in its proper position, an oxygen-level conditioner and humidifier, plus a meter that gauges your mood through the steering wheel and then displays a color based on your psychological state, Toyota thinks it can make better, happier motorists, that are more aware of nature and the society that infuses it. Hyperbolize much? Other interesting features include the leaf-shaped gas and brake, glass that makes the world outside seem brighter and sliding doors with glass that wraps underneath the floor providing a view of the road below. Plus, you can motor along (supposedly) knowing that when your headlights are on, you won't blind any pedestrians or oncoming motorists because the light is thoughtfully being distributed to avoid such stresses. Press Release: The RiN focuses on "increased comfort" and "serene, healthy living". Th
