How would I go about having a page run every 4 hours?
With this method, you can't. I mirrored the Linux directories. You
would have to do this "old skool". Although you could do a simply
<CFIF> in your hourly pages
<cfif Hour(now()) MOD 4 == 0>
every 4 hours
</cfif>

Can I programmatically write pages into a cron.d directory (since it
lives in the webapp dir I guess just calling cfwrite
file="cron.d/cron.5m/job.cfm" could do it, or?
yup ... or ...
FileWrite( ExpandPath("/cron.d/cron.5m/job.cfm"), myFile );
and once its there it will be picked up on the next run through.

You state no http call is needed anymore. So, the page in
"cron.d/cron.5m/job.cfm" would just go to the root of the webapp and
execute from there? Will all setting in Application.cfm/.cfc be
applied as well?
don't worry, the normal rules of engagement still apply when it comes to
honoring Application.cfm etc. I just don't need to go out and back in
when its being sourced from the same place!
The output being stored in the working directory is a very handy feature
if i say so myself! ;)
