Cron on Redhat openshift is cancelled by SIGTERM after some minutes.
Is there a default timeout on how long cron tasks can execute? If yes, how to get long running tasks working?

The solution is to use "nohup" to get long running tasks working.
For ex:
File .openshift/cron/minutely/task1 -
nohup /path-to/some-other-script > $OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR/logfile 2>&1 &
