You must hack it a bit, because I use some constants and ‘configuracion’ component for storing the interval dates.

Usage: in beforeFilter() of AppController:
$this->cron->add(’/mycontroller/cleanup’);

<?php

 * certains time intervals.

    var $components=array(’configuracion’,'requestHandler’);

        $this->controller=$controller;
