Just a note that in many ways PmWiki can act as its own cron, by simply scheduling certain tasks to be performed when it's invoked by a request of some sort. This is how the notify list capability works, for example. In this case it's easy enough to do things with a simple cache -- i.e., PmWiki regenerates the pagelist cache "on demand" whenever it detects that the existing cache may be out of date (e.g., because a page or customization has changed).
