This product will run your scheduled tasks via crontab rather than the current method where Vbulletin uses an image to execute tasks. This can slow down a users experience especially with long running tasks. It also stops all of those cron.php entries in your webserver log.
This product is really only useful for those on *nix (Linux/Unix/Etc) servers. Will not work on Windows based servers.
You should have a rudimentary understanding of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron before installing this hack.
For those wondering how this differs from this hack, well, first of all, it works for 3.6.8, but more importantly it actually replaces the method Vbulletin uses to execute scheduled tasks, whereas the other hack only helps it out.
