Cron jobs in Scheduler
85+
----------------------
86+
87+
The backend module called :ref:`TYPO3 Scheduler <typo3/cms-scheduler:start>` can
88+
be used to perform a task that you defined previously in the scheduler.
89+
The scheduler can be triggered by a cron job. In your terminal you
90+
can type
91+
92+
.. code-block:: shell
93+
:caption: Create or open the crontab
94+
95+
crontab -e
96+
97+
to create a new job on unix-like operating systems. In
98+
:ref:`Setting up the cron job <typo3/cms-scheduler:cron-job>` you can see how
99+
this works. Normally you have to define the time or a time interval in which the
100+
job should be performed once or frequently. To test your pattern you can insert
101+
it `here <https://crontab.guru/>`__ and test if it performs like you expect.
102+
When you are not familiar with cron jobs we refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
