Use ``-q`` (or `--quiet`) to silence any output for cronjobs.

Cron Jobs on Shared Hosting
---------------------------
On some shared hostings ``cd /full/path/to/root && bin/cake myshell myparam`` might not work. Instead you can use ``php /full/path/to/root/bin/cake.php myshell myparam``

.. note::
register_argc_argv has to be turned on by including ``register_argc_argv = 1`` in your php.ini.
If you cannot change register_argc_argv globally, you can tell the cron job to use your own configuration file (php.ini) by specifying it with ``-c /full/path/to/root/php.ini``. Example: ``php -c /full/path/to/root/php.ini /full/path/to/root/bin/cake.php myshell myparam``
