+Cron jobs in Scheduler
+----------------------
+
+The backend module called :ref:`TYPO3 Scheduler <typo3/cms-scheduler:start>` can
+be used to perform a task that you defined previously in the scheduler.
+The scheduler can be triggered by a cron job. In your terminal you
+can type
+
+..  code-block:: shell
+    :caption: Create or open the crontab
+
+    crontab -e
+
+to create a new job on unix-like operating systems. In
+:ref:`Setting up the cron job <typo3/cms-scheduler:cron-job>` you can see how
+this works. Normally you have to define the time or a time interval in which the
+job should be performed once or frequently. To test your pattern you can insert
+it `here <https://crontab.guru/>`__ and test if it performs like you expect.
+When you are not familiar with cron jobs we refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
