Scheduled Task Manager

The Scheduled Task Manager (available ONLY with our Linux Hosting Packages) in your Control Panel gives you the ability to schedule a task (cron) for your website to run on specific days and at specific times. For example, if you want to run a particular script at midnight on every Sunday, then you can use the Scheduled Task Manager to define a task for this. It is very easy-to-use, and allows you to add as many such scheduled tasks as you want.
