Ah. It does work with my cronjob, I just looked at the beginning of the 
test files, e.g. 
https://wolfgang.dautermann.at/maxima/nightlybuild/logfile-testsuite-abcl.txt

I just call Maxima with
maxima --lisp=$lisp --batch-string='run_testsuite();'
($lisp is the current lisp to be tested)

The code is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/code/ci/master/tree/crosscompile-windows/nightlytest.sh
(I just saw, that I updated some of the Lisp versions on my test 
machine, and did not commit these changes...)

That is probably a good idea. Or add an option like 
"run_interactive_tests" to run_testsuite, which can be set to true, if 
one wants to run tests, which require user interaction.
