Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Gonna try me best, anyone who know what it's trying to say can correct me
Cronjob? Cronsob? Crondom? Tbh i dont know what it means even if spelled correctly...
a cronjob (from chronos meaning time) is an automated task that occurs when the system clock hits a date and time
they are kept in a crontab (cron table) and are written with a number representing minute-hour-monthday-month-weekday-command
e.g.
would run at the 45th minute of the 23rd hour of the 6th weekday (11:45pm on a Saturday) and print "hello world" to the console
it was invented in 1970 for Unix systems (like Jurassic Parks hacking scene), and is still in use today in most servers*
*don't come after me with specifics, trying to ELI5 here.
Considering the cron time format is accepted in more than just runners like cron/anacron, I'd say your answer is reasonable (plus this is comics). No pitchforks here :)
