Well, what we would like is that a user crontab task could invoke a python
script capable of comunicate with the daemon through dbus, so it should bind
to the crontab owners bus. I think this should be the best way, but it seems
that I will have to make some tricky code to achieve that goal. Anyway if
you can sugest any other option to comunicate cron with the running daemon
we will think about it.

Thanks for all the answers.
