# cron/Scheduler
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The below commands will setup a cron daemon (scheduler) for running things like backups, statistic gathering and more via a schedule. While technically not required, we *strongly* recommend using cron for backups so you get the output via e-mail (or similar). This is also required if you want to monitor resource utilization via ```munin```.

|
|
## Important Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* This assumes you have setup ```msmtp``` for email notifications
|
