Discussion on: What do you use Cron jobs for?

[Gary Bell]

At Home:

• Send disk space updates to my dashboard for NAS and External drive backups
• rsync NAS to external hard drive

At work

A few things:

Currently live

• Copying database backups from hosting provider to the office (allows more backups to be kept)
• Copying website assets from hosting provider to the office

In development

• Resizing of images to create thumbnails as a background task
• Regenerate sitemap
• email daily reports
• Update tracking information

And likely a whole load of stuff I've not properly considered yet
