crontab in MacOSX

I'm trying to set up a bi-directional sync between org and google calendar, following instruction from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html. One headache is that seems MAC OSX Mountain lion has deprecated the cron of Unix. So the question is how to achieve the crontab in the figure... Thanks!

Looks like the unix crontab has indeed been depricated. It has been replaced by "launchd".

The Apple developer page states that

Although it is still supported, cron is not a recommended solution. It has been deprecated in favor of launchd.

Cron will still work when you are logged in, but it would be better to use launchd. Look Here for more info on how to write a launchd job.

Good Luck!
