Since you are talking of a cronjob it might be best to use the full paths for both cake and the app:

/path/to/cake/console/cake -app /path/to/app shelltaskname

That way your cron task does not need to cd to any particular directory to work.

I have found that any tweaks you might do to webroot/index.php will not be available to the task. Quite natural but also a bit annoying since it makes some custom setups hard to use with the shell. A webroot/config.php file that was include by both index.php and the shell would sometimes be very useful.

I have also added the hostname of the application as an argument to the shelltask sometimes. This argument is picked up by bootstrap.php.
That is very useful when the task needs to send email or automatically choose some configuration based on the hostname.
