CRON is a time based scheduler commonly found in Unix based environments.  To simplify,  think of CRON as a way to express time in a pattern, similar in concept to a Regular Expression.  Using a CRON expression, you can schedule imports to run at very specific intervals.  You could use CRON to schedule import tasks to run every five minutes only on Saturdays and Sundays, or every hour for the first 12 hours on the first day of the month in every other month.  (We understand that last example might be a little extraordinary, but it illustrates the point that CRON is extremely capable.)
