Cron Process

Of course.

You want to use the -b option or the mbpro script in order to run a session in the background (which cron does). You will also need to make sure to set the environment properly. Variables like DLC, PROPATH and so forth probably aren't set in the cron environment. PATH probably doesn't contain $DLC/bin either. For that reason most Progress cron jobs are actually scripts -- not simple & direct command lines.
