If you mean "wary" then all I can tell you is that cron is the correct
solution, so read:
man 5 crontab
and play around with a mini system with your own email in all the
trigges.
If you actually mean "weary" as in you've done cron a lot and are
tired of it, I really don't know what to say, as cron is the only
answer I'd recommend for what you describe...
