Imagine how cool it would be if the very first hit on Google for "cron job osx" told you how to do it.

Oh wait, it does.

What's that first step in the forum rules?
Step 1: Search and Research
First, search to see if anyone has posted the same question or item. If you have a question, search for relevant keywords. (It helps to restrict your search to the relevant forum.) Do a general web search for the problem, too — you're probably not the first person to encounter it.

There's a pretty good tutorial here: http://enterprise.linux.com/article..../08/10/1948233
If you have basic understanding of CLI, you can do this.
