The Jobs option lets you schedule background jobs to run at certain times using cron expressions. For example, you can schedule a job to run at midnight to transfer commissions to the individual partners. You can also schedule a job to run every five minutes to generate new invoices. The cron job execution task retrieves jobs regularly from a database table according to the job handler name. The task makes sure that each job does not run in parallel multiple times, cancels jobs that are not responding, and synchronizes job execution across Java virtual machines (JVMs).
