To automatically do busy work (CGI, PHP, whatever scripts).
Like:
Every week cleaning out messages in your message board that are older than
30 days.
Every night, automatically adding links that have been submitted to your
Gossamer Links engine.
Every 15 minutes, checking Moritz's signup script tmp directory to see if
anyone's signed up and then making their domain and sending out their
welcome letter automatically.
Every night, letting Webalizer do its thing...
Lots of reasons to call a CGI/PHP/whatever script with cron.
