CRON is the name of program that enables UNIX users to execute commands or
scripts (groups of commands) automatically at a specified time/date. It is
normally used for sys admin commands, like makewhatis, which builds a search
database for the man -k command, or for running a backup script, but can be used
for anything. A common use for it today is connecting to the internet and
downloading your email.
