Hi and welcome
What do you mean by "cron job" ?
Secure NAT is a one time configuration. You enable it and you are done.
Cron jobs are for repetitively doing something over and over again.
What do you want to get/achieve configuring a cron job?

thank you!
because of filtering and **great firewall** that is running in country of my ppl ; I have to do this manually to reconnect to the server, which is why I thought maybe i can set up a cron job for enable & disable secureNat!
