See my sig... I have fcron though it requires some manual tweaking to make it work fully.

The functionality can largely be replicated using libalarm though a direct cron port, which sleeps sensibly, shouldn't really be a problem.

Yeah fcron is such a thing. It just sleeps until it has something to do.
I'm using it to set profiles at certain times.

Here's the info... Some of this needs to be improved for sure. But for now it works.
deb https://repo.codemages.net/opt ./
apt-get install fcron
What you need to do manually:
create a fcron user
chown fcron:fcron /etc/fcron.*
chown -R fcron:fcron /var/spool/fcron
Then edit /etc/event.d/rcS-late
And after initctl emit MOUNTS_OK
put:
/etc/init.d/fcron start

@ruskie thanks, I changed owner /etc.fcron.conf to root.fcron and chmod 644.
I also had to
mkdir -p /scratchbox/tools/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/vi /scratchbox/tools/bin/vi
so that I could use fcrontab -e to add crontab-file for root
I know use it to sync my calendar from my funabol-server every 10 min with syncevolution.

If you actually want to have it use the editor you want then simply: export EDITOR=vi
Also you can change settings in /etc/fcron.conf I believe to tell it to use a different default editor.
You certainly don't need that mkdir and ln

If you don't know how to check your N900's uptime, you probably shouldn't own it.
