Cron jobs in Scheduler
----------------------

The backend module called :ref:`TYPO3 Scheduler <typo3/cms-scheduler:start>` can
be used to perform a task that you defined previously in the scheduler.
The scheduler can be triggered by a cron job. In your terminal you
can type

.. code-block:: shell
:caption: Create or open the crontab

crontab -e

to create a new job on unix-like operating systems. In
:ref:`Setting up the cron job <typo3/cms-scheduler:cron-job>` you can see how
this works. Normally you have to define the time or a time interval in which the
job should be performed once or frequently. To test your pattern you can insert
it `here <https://crontab.guru/>`__ and test if it performs like you expect.
When you are not familiar with cron jobs we refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
