title: CakePHP Console via Cron Question
body: <p>I'm using the CakePHP Console to download files from we and processed in a database. I'm running the console from inside the "app" directory. But when I'm trying to run the console outside app and by just setting the "-app" parameter for my cron job, it doesn't work. </p>
  
  <p>To be honest, I've had no success using -app parameter. It's like it's not working at all.</p>
  
  <p>By the way, I'm using Windows &amp; Pycron for my cron jobs. </p>
  
  <p>Here's what happens when I'm trying to run the console from D:\</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\&gt;web\elink\cake\console\cake -app D:\web\elink\app
