Writing programs like this must be a rite of passage. About a year ago I wrote one (https://github.com/mlaiosa/cronwrap https://github.com/mlaiosa/cronwrap). One day when I googled "cronwrap" to try to find the github page, there was a gazillion hits of other programs that also did the same thing. I looked at a couple and I still like mine more - but I also have a moderate case of not-invented-here syndrome.
