Why don't you just use cron/anacron? Why do you want to replace it with upstart?

In this particular case a job needs to run, say, every half hour. This is the simplest possible thing in cron, yet I can find nothing in any upstart documentation that is remotely similar. There was no problem when I had a program that has to run all the time. Created a new .conf file in /etc/init/ and it just runs. Whew. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. I'm quite comfortable with Red Hat and CentOS, have enjoyed Raspbian Wheezy on a Pi. This is my first foray into the land of Ubuntu, though not my first experience with upstart. Can anyone point me to documentation that explains how to replace cron with upstart? I might want something to run once a day; I might want something to run multiple times a day, all the usual cron permutations.
