How do you run cronjobs

Thanks jmadsen. But I don't see how that's better, the user can still access the controller/method from the public domain by just browsing to it domain.com/controller/method.

Do you think there's a way to run private/protected controllers from a bootstrapper?

Right now I'm doing the same, and sending with a key (just a 32 characters hash) as a password to protect my controller from running if the key isn't valid. But it feels like a workaround somehow.

Thanks
