SSH Cronjobs
Cronjobs is a schedule command/task that is executed on your server to run automatically at a specified time and date. A cronjob is a schedule task itself and it is very useful to automate repetitive tasks. For example, it allows email processing to run independently while not interfering with site operations. It is recommended in Komento to use cronjobs to parse emails as well as sending out notifications.
Configuration
Setting up cronjobs with SSH is very straight forward. All you'll need to do is to login to your server with your username and password and run the following command.
crontab -l
Then, the server will list all cronjobs tasks available on your server. To add a new cronjob task, run the following command.
crontab -e
Your server will load up your favourite editor with the list of cronjobs tasks available on your site. Enter the following command below everything and save.

You'll need to get the correct wget path and replace the domain name above with your site's domain. Every webhosting might have a different /bin/wget. Please consult with your webhosting for further explanation.
