Yes, just create a shell script that calls rman using a "here document", and 
then schedule the shell script in your crontab.  Here is a very simple example:

rman target / nocatalog<<EOF
backup INCREMENTAL LEVEL=1 CUMULATIVE database plus archivelog;
EOF

You could use an input variable or some built-in logic to set the level of the 
incremental depending on your needs.  Also look into using a block change 
tracking file if you're not already familiar with it.

Brandon
