I use fcron as a vixie-cron replacement. I find it more stable and
easier to configure and run. It also has a much larger syntax which
might be useful under some circumstances.
I think you could install fcron locally in your account, and as fcron is
much less picky about system permissions and config file locations, you
could easily run it as the main scheduler for your scripts.
