Where To Put Command Files for Cron
Cron will search the normal command search path for command files and disk-based
commands. The command search path used depends on how the site is configured.
Standard search path for a CFN3 application
If you want to keep your command files for cron in a separate directory that is not on the
command search path, you can always use the full pathname to execute the command. For
example, you could keep your command files for cron in /CRON. Another approach is to
reconfigure the site.
How To Enter Cron Commands
Use the command LOAD CRON or LO CR to enter cron commands. You may use the C
option with LOAD CRON to load more than one entry with a single command.

How To Keep Cron Command Output from the Log
Unless it is redirected, the output from cron commands is printed on the log. To prevent output
from printing on the log, put a hyphen (-) before the command. If you want to save the output
of a cron command, you may redirect its output to a file by using the redirection options (> or
>>) or by putting the commands in a command file and using ENABLE DUMP in the file
(refer to
“How to Use Options with Commands” on page 3-6 ). The cron entry in the example
below executes a command file and prints nothing on the log.
