Cron is a time-based job scheduler commonly found in Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to automate repetitive tasks by defining execution times in a crontab (a configuration file containing scheduling rules). These tasks can range from running maintenance scripts and data backups to sending periodic notifications.

The cron package brings this scheduling capability to PHP applications, enabling precise execution of scheduled tasks without relying on external system cron jobs.
