You can write the sccript that your cronjob starts so that it keeps
track of when it was last run and then either have cron run it often 
or add it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d to be run at startup.   Then if the
script was run sufficiently recently, just exit - maybe with an 
appropriate message/error code.
