Try some other cron:

========

"Anacron is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at  
intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the  
system is running continuously"

http://anacron.sourceforge.net/

========

"But fcron does not assume that your system is running neither all  
the time nor regularly : you can, for instance, tell fcron to execute  
tasks every x hours y minutes of system up time or to do a job only  
once in a specified interval of time."

http://fcron.free.fr/

========

fcron is more powerful (my choice), but they decided not to support / 
etc/cron.d and /etc/cron.daily, hourly, monthly.
