[TYPO3-dev] HowTo: Running a cronscript using TYPO3 with CLI

[Ingmar Schlecht]

I have added a link to this thread to the 
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Pending_Documentation#doc_core_api wiki 
page, so we're reminded of updating the documentation about 
cli_dispatch.phpsh in TYPO3 Core API.

cheers
