I wrote a small tool to implement cron like functionality over ssh using twisted (with public/private keys). This was written to scratch a small itch but also to learn how twisted works with conch, it's ssh module. http://crontorted-project.pollenation.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi Feel free to use, I haven't put a license on it but it would be MIT/BSD .. contact me if you want an explicit confirmation.
