Cron job coding

[droidmcse]

Hey Gang,

I'm migrating our site from a very old version of osCommerce to 154 of ZC. I have built a whole ton of cron job things that do things like upload our catalog to Amazon, or imports orders from Amazon, etc.

I made modified application_top.php file in osc to not require the page to be loaded from a browser. I just started looking at application_top in zc and instead of racing down that rabbit hole, I thought I'd ask:
is there an easy way to include the infrastructure of zc with an include or two, but run it from the command line, versus being web browser dependent?

Thanks!
Andy
