Please try

Code:
index.php welcome show

So that would be (changes / for spaces)

Code:
/[FOLDER_NAME]/[USERNAME]/public_html/index.php [CONTROLLER_CRON] [CONTROLLER_ACTION]

Thanks to all for valuable reply.

And below code is working for me.
CI uses CLI requests. Means you have to use PHP CLI to use this cron job properly. From SSH in crontab view it should be similar to:

/usr/bin/php-cli /home/[CPANEL_USER]/public_html/index.php [CONTROLLER_NAME] [METHOD_NAME]
