gerkintrigg Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi, I wanted to start this thread to ask what kind of cool things do you / could you do with Cron? We use it to backup our database but that's boring! What else could we do? Examples: Letters from Santa sent on the first day of December Email Auto-Responder (save yourself the AWeber subscription fee) Any others?
