Or, you could use this as an opportunity to stick your toes in the water of runit or s6, by running runit or s6 from /etc/inittab's special respawn area, and then making a s6 or runit service that makes the directory, and then does a forever one minute loop-sleep that spawns your program. Maybe more work than Cron, but it's your easiest way into supervisor programs.
