Ruby on Rails

Without seeing the task I can't tell you the answer to that. And the fact that it runs on a cron schedule means that you probably have something like a worker in the background doing that.

Normally you run

rake some_task X="abc" Y="xyz"

where X and Y are arguments being passed in.

But note that you probably want to prefix the rake task in development with "bundle exec" to get it to run with the right gemset.
