A cron approach

The beauty of the empty trash script is that if a file is in use, the OS won't allow it to be deleted. You'll get a warning dialog instead.

With rm, you might kill files something is still using. That could suck.

Then again, the beauty of rm is that it'll empty the trash of stubborn items that the Finder might claim are in use that aren't.
