Each user in FreeBSD can have their own cron list. You can edit a users crontab like this: # crontab -u username -e and then add the following into it to run your app at 1 minute after every hour of every day of every month: 1 * * * * /path/to/app/app.sh You can also feed parameters after the command you want to run. See man(5) crontab for a good description of the layout of the crontab entries.
