Now that is going to be a very good trick if you can pull it off.
cron is a software program, not access to a hardware timer.
software requires a processor to run it with, and when asleep linux is actually frozen in RAM with the processor shut down.
Install my dmesg -> document KUAL button and study the messages of what is happening during "going to sleep" and "waking up".

Oh, well that makes sense. I guess I just wasn't thinking about it being halted. Just for fun I did do a simple script trying to just wake it up and it didn't work. Thanks for busting my balloon!
