  1. Put the following content into a PHP file(e.g. cron-update-pathauto.php) and put the file in your drupal's root directory.
    <?php
include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
include_once './sites/all/modules/pathauto/pathauto.inc';
include_once './sites/all/modules/pathauto/pathauto_node.inc';
 
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
 
_pathauto_include();
// variable_set('pathauto_max_bulk_update', 5000);
node_pathauto_bulkupdate();
?>  
 
  2. Create a cron job to call this file at your desired interval. For example, the following cron job will call the file at the beginning of every hour.
