You're in no need to install any software (Cron, Crontab, task scheduler, etc) on your machine.

If you're on a web host that allows you to install your own software, you likely already have some flavor of cron installed on your machine.

In fact, if you read this and understand what it meant, you likely have the necessary skills and abilities to set some cron jobs up on your own.

I mean, this is neat, but who is this targeted at?
