Sure, you can use cron jobs for it. But cron is missing for example notifications about failures or info how long it takes to execute the task.

I don't actually use cron directly. What I do use is capable of scheduling and error detection (nonzero errors). Even if it weren't, the script it invoked could do both with < 4 lines of code.

I think it would actually be professionally negligent to introduce coupling at this point.
