crontab is obviously very useful, with two reservations.
Obviously, if the one of the machines is down, cron will not run. You could set up some mechanism to compensate for that (write a timestamp file, and check the file was created), but it would be a bother.
You could make the two machines run a job at the same time, but you would have to make sure the clocks are exactly the same. It's probably better to let one of them do it's think first, and then an hour or whatever later, let the other one. Or might be some way to do everything on one machine, and it runs a remote process on the other.

git-annex-shell
git-annex-shell(1) General Commands Manual git-annex-shell(1)NAME
git-annex-shell - Restricted login shell for git-annex only SSH access
SYNOPSIS
git-annex-shell [-c] command [params ...]
DESCRIPTION
git-annex-shell is a restricted shell, similar to git-shell, which can be used as a login shell for SSH accounts.
Since its syntax is identical to git-shell's, it can be used as a drop-in replacement anywhere git-shell is used. For example it can be
used as a user's restricted login shell.
COMMANDS
Any command not listed below is passed through to git-shell.
Note that the directory parameter should be an absolute path, otherwise it is assumed to be relative to the user's home directory. Also the
first "/~/" or "/~user/" is expanded to the specified home directory.
configlist directory
This outputs a subset of the git configuration, in the same form as git config --list
inannex directory [key ...]
This checks if all specified keys are present in the annex, and exits zero if so.
dropkey directory [key ...]
This drops the annexed data for the specified keys.
recvkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to receive the content of a key, and stores the content in the annex.
sendkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to transfer out the content of a key.
commit directory
This commits any staged changes to the git-annex branch. It also runs the annex-content hook.
OPTIONS
Most options are the same as in git-annex. The ones specific to git-annex-shell are:
--uuid=UUID
git-annex uses this to specify the UUID of the repository it was expecting git-annex-shell to access, as a sanity check.
HOOK
After content is received or dropped from the repository by git-annex-shell, it runs a hook, .git/hooks/annex-content (or hooks/annex-con-
tent on a bare repository). The hook is not currently passed any information about what changed.
ENVIRONMENT
GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_READONLY
If set, disallows any command that could modify the repository.
GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_LIMITED
If set, disallows running git-shell to handle unknown commands.
