This simply won't work, since cron does not deal with the response from the TAF.
Install the cron to run every hour and process a chunk each time. Or, if it's once a night thing, have it run every minute for the hour of 1am, and set the internal timeout in the TAF to 30 seconds or so. That will give you 30 minutes of runtime total. You can also have the app quit right away if it has nothing to do. There are other ways of dealing with this as well, but you can never except Witango to receive a response from cron it launches. Oh, you could also chain-launch the apps by using an @URL after each 1000 records, but this is a little more risky since any problem in the chain will stop it entirely.

The taf reads an email table and sends email to each record by writing each email to the Pickup folder in my SMTP service. I have the taf redirect after 3 minutes or a 1,000 records so the taf does not time out. It runs fine when I run it from a browser. It processes all the records. When I run it as a cron job, it processes 1,000 records and then stops. It doesn't appear to redirect back into the program. I am using the following code to redirect: <@purgeresults> <@assign request$httpHeader value="HTTP/1.0 302 Moved<@CRLF>Location: <@var <@var user$U_Site>$AppRootUrl><@var catsite$CGI><@var catsite$RootPath>Cron/NewsLetterEmail.taf?CurrentCtr=<@var request$CurrentCtr>&HTMLCounter=<@var request$HTMLCounter>&TextCounter=<@var request$TextCounter>&JobStartSeconds=<@var request$JobStartSeconds><@crlf><@setcookies><@userreferencecookie><@crlf ><@c rlf>"> Are redirects not allowed in cron jobs or am I doing something else wrong?
