         You can schedule anything! Some examples of what you might have done already include:
         <ul>
-            <li> <code> updatedb </code> to update your <code> locate </code> database </li>
-            <li> <code> certbot </code> to update renewing of your https certs </li>

         Some tasks that you might <em>want</em> to schedule may include:
         <ul>
-            <li> Package updates - if you really just want to leave your server alone you can automated updating packages on your server </li>

             And many more, anything you can do can be turned into a cronjob.

             We now have to convert this time (Every Monday at 3:30 AM) into a cron time. Cron uses a simple but effective way of scheduling when to run things.

             So for our Monday at 3:30AM job we would do the following:
