You could purchase/rent portable floodlights (something like this), but that would be expensive (not including generator) What we used to do is find a field that already has artificial light and then play on it's adjacent field. The field wasn't as nice, or as big, but there's usually enough spillover light to make playing feasible. Otherwise, find a local school and rent their gym for indoor. good luck
This is what I've been using. It's tall enough to get over most cars, but it is a 1000w light, so it gets toasty pretty fast. Looks like the same company makes LED single lights for $30, so I'm considering buying a couple of those and mounting them on the stand that I already have.
You will almost certainly need a generator or a running car as /u/Laymanism mentioned. A dual halogen worklight will draw about 1000 watts [1]. A car battery will hold about 18 AH at 12 V [2]. Even with a perfect inverter you would only get about 12 minutes power. You could hook up a bunch of batteries in parallel, but I would recommend a generator and a long extension cord.
> 50mm (f/1.8) lens and the 18-135mm (f3.5-5.6)
Just try both. You'll end up using smaller apertures anyway for some of the close-ups as 1.8 has an extremely thin DOF and sometimes you'll want more than only the eyes sharp, nice blur of the lens or not.
As for the lighting, if you don't have sufficient lighting or the baby just doesn't want to adjust to your days lighting-schedule: I already suggested in another comment work-lights like these. Poor mans lighting equipment, adjustable by umbrellas and cloth :)
Thanks! I looked at this one but the pics seem like it wouldnt be bright (size and such) so to hear some feedback is really good! Thinking of getting a small light like that one then a bigger stand with like double lights. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YW2C8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Like that one
Something like this, but with one round bulb on the end of it
Go BIG or go home. j/k
Is there an outlet and you could use a desk lamp as a spot light? You can get those for under 10 bucks. It make actually be worth just leaving there if you frequent the bar enough.

For the weight sensors.
As far as the crontab issue you are facing, is their anything else in the crontab that you need?
You could just write a script (would need to run as root or sudo) to update the crontab in a way that you want
this will send you in the right direction.
Another way you might do it, if everything runs relative to one another, I.E. They should all be run at once, you could wrap that up into a script, then run that one script from crontab.
Another option would be to forgo cron all together and write a script that sleeps for a minute at a time, checking for the time, then when it's about the right time, sets off (within a minute or two should be super easy)
If you are having a hard time waking up,
something like this
to send power to something like this
might be something you want to consider.
