cron(8) can run scripts or binaries. Given that your requirements continue to evolve, I would suggest that you move now to a fuller, more sophistated scripting language such as Perl or Python which can read directly from databases as well as text files.

Is it possible to have RM or FIND read from a text file?

Scripts can construct commands which are based partly on information maintained in a text file.
