Consider sysutils/anacron

Anacron  can be used to execute commands periodically, with a frequency 
specified in days.  Unlike cron(8), it does not assume that the machine is 
running continuously.  Hence, it can be used on machines that aren't running 
24 hours a day, to control daily, weekly, and monthly jobs that are usually 
controlled by cron.
