SunOS (a.k.a. BSD) used vixiecron; they dumped it when
"Solaris" went SVR4. You can still find workable copies
of Paul's original work (pretty ancient by now).
Alternative it to use perl with Schedule::Cron to process
the lines. It understands */X notation and passes the entire
line to whatever dispatcher you choose -- which can interpret
the rest of your cron line as whatever it likes.
For example:
* */24 * * * */28 /path/to/code
Would check for the 28th day ever 24 hours :-)
Probably the best bet for something like this is at, however,
since it remembers the date + time that the event was
scheduled for. This allows re-starting cron any number of
times w/o resetting the start date used by at.
