Mac "cron" wanted

Do any of you Mac netlanders know if something like UNIX cron exists
for the Mac?, i.e., I need something that will launch an application
under Multifinder (6.0.3) when a certain date and time occurs
regardless of what else is happening on the system.

I've tried AutoMac III, but it seems to "remember" what it is supposed
to do relative to the application active when the macro is created.  My
needs would require a macro that is *independent* of the current
application.

Please reply via email and I will summarize if there is sufficient
interest.

Thanks-in-advance,
