I know this has been discussed before on the group, but I'm still
confused after reading the answers!

Here's what I want to do.  I have an application which needs to send
an email once a week to all registered users.  I want to automate this
using a cron job.

The function for sending the email is called 'email' and is in the
'Users' controller.

I can run cron jobs: the command I use to run a php script (called
'script.php') on cron is:
 0 5 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /htdocs/MyApplication/script.php > /dav/
null

This works when the script is in the MyApplication folder (it is a
subdirectory of htdocs because there's another system in htdocs); it
executes every 5 minutes (I'm doing every 5 mins while I test it).

However, this can't get information from the application; I want to
get a list of users and their email addresses (email addresses are in
the 'User' model), and email that, so ideally I want it to run 'users/
email' instead of script.php.

I'm using Cake 1.2.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
