As ever, there are other ways. Often when I look at how I can 'streamline' tasks like this then I take a look at how long the task takes me over a given period, say a year. I then take a guess at how long it would take me to write an app to do it 'automatically', if its significantly longer then generally I don't bother. Unless of course I've got some spare time and can see how learning such a system would be benefical for other projects.
i also use this equation but add one more factor: will i *forget* to do something? rolling logs on a specific day of the (month, week, year), executing a database dump at a specific time ...
cron has been very good to me over the years.
