Here is the answer.

Stackoverflow is a huge help for me, I have greatly benefited from the responses of the participants, today I am very happy to participate in the community with this answer, and I hope that this will help developers like me who have no choice to work with Joomla.

So here is how to build a cron with Joomla.

/Cli

<?php

// Initialize Joomla framework
const _JEXEC = 1;

// Load system defines
if (file_exists(dirname(__DIR__) . '/defines.php'))
{
    require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/defines.php';
}

if (!defined('_JDEFINES'))
{
    define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__DIR__));
    require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
}

// Get the framework.
require_once JPATH_LIBRARIES . '/import.legacy.php';

// Bootstrap the CMS libraries.
require_once JPATH_LIBRARIES . '/cms.php';

// Load the configuration
require_once JPATH_CONFIGURATION . '/configuration.php';

require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/framework.php';

/**
 * Cron job

 */
class myCron extends JApplicationCli
{
    /**
     * Entry point for the script
     *
     * @return  void
     *
     * @since   2.5
     */
        public function doExecute()

            $instance = PropertyXMLImporter::instance();
            $instance->execute_import();
