What scripts need to be run regularly on an OSQA installation?

I've seen some mention of certain scripts that need to be put into cron jobs for maintenance in other questions. Where can I get a list of these scripts or commands so that I make sure that I've got them all covered?

Once your site goes public, I think you at least need to:

backup database (either "manage.py dumpdata" or some other db-specific commands should work).
backup user uploaded files.
check the availability of the service and send notification emails if the service is interrupted.

Additionally, if you are using the database for sessions, you want to cleanup the session data periodically. There are manage.py commands for this. You probably want to run these in a cron.
