Because the LiveCD can be installed to run native on the system, and there you
want things like this to run. I think a good strategy for this is to add
support to either these cron jobs or the applications themselves to see if
they're running in a stateless environment and "opt-out" of running.
How about also checking whether the machine is running off of battery power?
Stuff that scans the whole hard drive seems inappropriate unless running
off of AC.
