Execute Long running php scripts via cron jobs

Question

I have a php script that updates a database. It takes round 5 minutes to complete. I want to set it to run automatically via cron job on cpanel but it don't execute via cron job.

Is there any time execution limit on cron jobs or is there any other effective way to automate this process on server?
