Name of schedulers in Linux?
In Linux you have Cron which manages most of the scheduling.

What is the function of the crontab file in Linux?
Unix Cron is a daemon ('service') that runs in the background and runs the commands specified in the crontab file at the intervals specified within. This allows someone to easily run a program or script every hour, day, week, etc. The crontab file can be found in two places. Typically, it is located in the /etc directory. Cron also supports multi-user setups, in which case you will also find other 'crontab' files in some distribution-specific location (I believe /var/spool/cron, named after the user that owns the file). More information on Cron can be found by Googling "cron" or "crontab".

What can be used to execute a series of Linux commands at a specified time?
There are two main ways to schedule a "task" or "job" to run at a later time: cron and at. = CRON = The CRON utility has existed in various forms for decades and is almost guaranteed to be installed on your system. It's mainly for running periodic tasks, such as weekly backups or monthly maintenance scripts. Your system also likely has an example file already set up (/etc/crontab) or directories under /etc (such as /etc/cron.daily, etc) where you can put scripts to run. Most Linux distributions make good use of the Cron daemon (another word for service) so you can hunt around in that file and directories for examples. You can also type `man cron`, `man crontab`, etc at the command line for specifics on how to configure the file. Once you add your script filename to the file or place it in the preconfigured /etc/cron.whatever directory you should be all set! = AT = The AT utility is designed for run-once events. For example, if you've got a big script that'll hog system resources you can schedule it to run at 3am when nobody's on the system: at -f myScript.sh 3am tomorrow
