Yes, I wrote cron for System 7 several years ago.  It works, a lot of
people use it, it's free and the source code is available at no cost.
It even uses the same format for its crontab file as the real BSD UNIX 
cron (no common source code at all, however).

Anyone interested can get it via anonymous ftp to the pub/gatekeeper
directory of emx.cc.utexas.edu.

If you like it, send me email and I'll put you on the list of cron
users so you'll be notified of updates.
