Cron tasks

The topic of implementing a scheduled activity with Joomla is achieved usually by the use of a daemon named 'cron'. This is primarily due to most(?) Joomla systems running upon a UNIX based operating system. This is not always the situation and there are a number of Windows based systems available, but there is adequate documentation about Windows systems created by Microsoft and it is not necessary to repeat that information. With UNIX systems being so common we have included this section because an understanding of 'cron' is important in its implementation and also in the design of specific activities that leverage its facilities.

This topic has been extensively documented in another document for another one of our Joomla components and is therefore not repeated in this document. Some of this information is also included in the Users Guide but is also included here for completeness.
