[ wants Mac equivalent to UNIX cron program ]

While it doesn't have all the timing options of cron, QuicKeys allows
"Timer Options" to be associated with any macro.  This allows a macro
to be fired off at a particular time and (if desired) at specified
intervals afterward.  A macro can (amongst a myriad of other things!)
launch an application and even pass it some AppleEvents if necessary.

It's a great little program.
