-Background Job Scheduling
-=========================
-
-To work properly, Kanboard requires that a background job run on a daily basis.
-Usually on Unix platforms, this process is done by `cron`.
-
-This background job is necessary for these features:
-
-- Reports and analytics (calculate daily stats of each projects)
-- Send overdue task notifications
-- Execute automatic actions connected to the event "Daily background job for tasks"
-
-Configuration on Unix and Linux platforms
------------------------------------------
-
-There are multiple ways to define a cronjob on Unix/Linux operating systems, this example is for Ubuntu 14.04.
-The procedure is similar for other systems.
-
-Edit the crontab of your web server user:
-
-```bash
-sudo crontab -u www-data -e
-```
-
-Example to execute the daily cronjob at 8am:
-
-```bash
-0 8 * * * cd /path/to/kanboard && ./cli cronjob >/dev/null 2>&1
-```
-
-Note: the cronjob process must have write access to the database in case you are using Sqlite.
-Usually, running the cronjob under the web server user is enough.
-
-Configuration on Microsoft Windows Server
------------------------------------------
-
-Before to configure the recurring task, create a batch file (*.bat or *.cmd) that run the Kanboard CLI script.
-
-Here an example (`C:\kanboard.bat`):
-
-```
-"C:\php\php.exe" -f "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\kanboard\cli" cronjob
-```
-
-**You must change the path of the PHP executable and the path of the Kanboard's script according to your installation.**
-
-Configure the Windows Task Scheduler:
-
-1. Go to "Administrative Tools"
-2. Open the "Task Scheduler"
-3. On the right, choose "Create Task"
-4. Choose a name, for example you can use "Kanboard"
-5. Under "Security Options", choose a user that can write to the database in case you are using Sqlite (might be IIS_IUSRS depending of your configuration)
-6. Create a new "Trigger", choose daily and a time, midnight for example
-7. Add a new action, choose "Start a program" and select the batch file created above
