It's sort of a cheesy workaround, but I have used a "server-checker" application to perform the same type of function as CFSCHEDULE on a server where I didn't have access to the admin. These programs usually will call a certain URL on a set schedule (usually to make sure that it's available). If you're on a Mac, the best one I've found is called "Whistle Blower" (check http://www.versiontracker.com/ for the latest version).
My Windows/Linux brethren swear by one called "Big Brother". I don't have a URL for it though, I'm sure you can find it on Google.
