Out of cron, every N minutes, read the pipe to empty it, then run your executable to refill it. To do this right, you'll need a little daemon program that sits on the pipe and watches for something to read from it, then refills it after the other program closes. Not trivial, but not too difficult to do.
I use a little program by Ian Macdonald <ian caliban org> called signature, a dynamic signature generator for e-mail and news, for this. It's very easy to set up and use.
