-====== Task Scheduling in Linux ====== 
  
-=====Overview===== 
- 
-This article discusses some tools used in a Linux system to schedule tasks to run automatically at specified time intervals or at any given point of time in the future. 
- 
-Some task-scheduling daemons used in Linux/UNIX are: 
-   * ''cron'' - the periodic scheduler most commonly used 
-   * ''at'' - schedule one-time tasks for the future 
-   * ''anacron'' - anachronistic cron; a periodic scheduler that doesn't rely on the system being left on 24x7
