Yes? Cron is the standard way to automatically run tasks at a given time. I'm not concerned about Fedora defined cron jobs, or I wouldn't be including `atd` in that list anyway. I don't think that anything in Fedora itself uses `atd`. The end user is the one that will be using `crond` and `atd`. If you just put these in the background, if they're not already, this will solve your problem. -- John M.
