The Cake Console isn't a PHP script, it's a shell script that calls a
PHP script as you see from the output you get (the line: exec php -q $
{LIB}cake.php -working "${APP}" "$@" ), so you don't need the "php"
bit in your crontab, you might however need to specify the APP
directory manually as cron runs with a limited environment (I've had
that trouble before).e.g. in crontab: 0 0 * * * /path/to/my/cake/console/cake -app "/path/to/my/app" cron or similar.
