Catalog price rules need scheduled tasks—great, so what goes in the cron job???

I have looked through about 50 posts on this and still can’t find an answer. If catalog price rules for promotions need scheduled tasks, and a crontab to be setup, then please tell me what file needs to be executed from a cron job to make this work? Seriously, all I want to do is get catalog pricing rules to work, and I know this is the sticking point.

Also, what is the difference between me setting something up in my own crontab to run, and the scheduled tasks that should be running as setup through the configuration? There appears to be a major disconnect in the knowledge base on this particular point.

If someone from the core team could answer this I would be more than happy to add the missing wiki entry under adding a cron job that is here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how_to_setup_a_cron_job.

Thank you.
