I'll assume you are using Javan's whenever for a starting point. This generates a crontab file. You should be able to add a second task to the config/schedule.rb file, re-generate and update or overwrite your existing crontab file. I am unclear what is overwriting the schedule.rb file. As I read the whenever documentation, whenever can modify your crontab, but you modify schedule.rb.

I notice there are many forks of whenever, if you give us more details about which version, whether you are using Capistrano for deployment (which will modify schedule.rb on the production servers), etc. we may be able to help.
