If the site is being hit on a regular basis you can have one of those 
processes call the maintenance tasks on a regular basis. I just wrote an RSS 
CFC for someone which will add new items to the RSS once per hour or when 
someone hits the script, which-ever is longer. This means that if the script 
is hit once a minute, it'll only add a new item every hour. If it's hit once 
a day, it'll only add something once a day. The same idea would work for a 
maintenance task where you set a variable to memory for the last time it was 
run and every hit to the site, you just compare the current time to the 
stored time and if it's a specific difference (1 day for example), then run 
the maintenance.
Of course, this is kind of silly for some sites and is more of a cute idea 
than anything really optimal. You can also have another site calling the 
maintenance task on a schedule.
