this works for me:
create a php file cron_run.php and put these lines into it

<?php
// try one of the lines below
echo  
nl2br(system('/www/htdocs/.......your_path_......../typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh  
scheduler'));
//echo  
nl2br(shell_exec('/www/htdocs/.......your_path_......../typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh  
scheduler'));
?>

you can find the path in php info which you can also find in the install  
tool

as you can read in steffans post this is kind of a facked cron job, but it  
does work as long as there is not too much work
(and as long as you can call system to use a shell command)
