I believe there might some example script files included with Cognos(?)... but the command to actually build the cube should be something like this...

exec $COGNOS_HOME/rsserver -c -p Current_Status.pyi -F /usr/cognos/apps/xyz/xyz_preferences.ini

all one line. We have a script file that sets a couple env variables i.e. $COGNOS_HOME, checks for a couple things, then executes that line. We run this script.sh file via cron.
