BoltWire actually used to have a very advanced pseudo cron script in the core, where you could register processes, variable parameters, time frequency and the like. I removed it when I figured out how to get background processes working properly. (These are run after the page is fully loaded and the browser disconnected). We used this system to automate the most common tasks--indexing and stamp deletion.
However I do have the code still available in the form of a plugin. No idea why I never uploaded it to the solutions area, but just did now (slightly updated--not sure it still works) and wrote up some docs at: http://www.boltwire.com/index.php?p=solutions.system.cron I also rewrote the docs.concepts.cron page.
