Cronless is the simplest way to setup a cron job. We set cron jobs through our online service and call your web page, PHP or CGI script at a repeating interval. Cron jobs originated in UNIX in the 1970s using "crontab" syntax.

There are two reasons you setup a cron job: First, you may need run something often, but don't want to do it manually or you may execute something infrequently, but schedule it so you don't forget. Another reason is that you may have a process intensive program to run and you want to do it when the CPU utilization is lower than normal. Cron jobs aren't always available on (free) webhosting providers so this is very useful. Not to mention, configuring crontab is a real pain-in-the-neck!

If you're missing cron services on your web host or simple don't want to learn crontab syntax, use Cronless instead! We make the setup of cron jobs EASY!
