Probably because nothing has changed, without the -z it will reindex
the entire database, you don't need to do this. With -z it only
updates the index for records who have changed.

Yes, using cron is the right way to do, consortia like NEKLS
(Northeast Kansas Library System) and CKLS, and many other consortia
run rebuild_zebra.pl with -z, using cron, to update the indices.

I'm not sure how many more ways I can say, yes, use cron to run rebuild_zebra.pl
