CRON Jobs Explained and an Example put in Production in 5 minutes!

[@lucas0yo]

you saved my mental health with a video that was only 5 minutes long. You don't know how much I thank you!

[@joshuaberrios]

Great explanation. It was easy to grasp. God Bless!

[@IbnShaalan]

try to zoom in so everyone can see the code good job

[@rheavictor7]

Thank you so much, really clear explained and nice examples.

One thing I'm wondering about is, depending on what function is being run, could this get expensive? I just came from another video where the guy mentioned that he hosted his on DB in a VPS, and to facilitate DB backup, he ran a cron job at the end of every day to store a snapshot of his database in an S3 bucket. So I guess you would want a really clear understanding of the compute price of whatever cron job you were running, right?

i misunderstood cron, I conflated it with a product or specific service, not a concept that gets used in all sorts of things. thanks for the video.

[@bmdavis419]

Same, took me a long time to figure out what people were actually referring to lol

[@mrman880]

[@Anarchy_OW]

Thank you for this!

[@parkerrex]

[@swapnilchand338]

Hey thanks. Google wiki was irritating to wrap my head around. So simply a task to repeat. Like a chore. Why is it called cron tho? Is that a shortform on something

When I try to edit after inputting crontab -e, no Text Editor comes up. I see the code in something called LXTerminal. How do I edit from here? My Raspberry Pi has a Text Editor. Do I have to copy and paste it into that? Or maybe it is open in some Editor and I just have to figure out which one and what the commands are? Thanks!

next time maybe you can zoom in a bit. so we will be able to enjoy this precious info.

How do people not know of cron? Basic unix concept lol. Ive known about it since before i started to program lol. Also bruh, u dont need a library for this when actual deployment platforms like k8s or lambdas do it for u

[@jerbear7952]

Wow look how smart you are. Some of us aren't as experienced as you are. Many of us have not worked with UNIX. You lack basic social skills. I would never dream of blasting you over all of the things that I know, that you don't know. Fix yourself dude.
