How, please, to set the controller to call a function from another controller?
Or how to call a command job from the controller?
On my hosting I can only set CRON to the URL https:/…
Thank you

Instead of
- calling a command from a controller or
- calling one controller action from another
I would rather recommend you put your logic into its own Utility/Service class and use it inside as many controllers or commands as you like.
See [CakeFest Virtual 2021 Day 2 - How to re use code: Utility Classes and PHP Namespaces - Kevin Pfeifer - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3E_UdH1XeE) on how to do that

Also check this [Shells - 3.10](https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/console-and-shells/shells.html) for cron.
In my case I call it using
`php full_path_to_script `
from cron at vps hosting where I don’t have ssh access.
And as @KevinPfeifer said it is good idea to move somewhere your frequently used code. “Model” it’s good place, every model can be easy accessed from Controllers and other models.
