I need details about wp-cron. I used wp_schedule_event
for automatically sending emails.

But wp_schedule_event is only triggered when a user visits our site.
How to make the cron run automatically?

    It will run at first visit right after the scheduled time.
    1.- yes, run automatically, but triggered by a visitor.
    2.- it’s enough to sending email in a scheduled basis.

    For a real cron behavior you can run a script using crontab 

    crontab -e
wget -q http://domain.com/wp-content/some-path/your-script.php

    -q: quiet (no output). Just run the script. Otherwise you will have a lot of files in your server (wget pull files)
