Check out iDo Script Scheduler (from the Web site):
"iDo Script Scheduler lets you create a schedule to run your scripts at any
time you choose. You set up schedules by creating "events", which can run
scripts one time, or at any repeating interval from minutes to weeks. Each
event runs independently of the other events. You can use a different
AppleScript in each event, or the same script in several different events.

It's shareware $25, but an unregistered version will let you schedule three
scripts (the registered version is much more capable). HTH
PS - I thought Cron was a Linux utility... ?
