... On UNIX, use some "cron" varient, Windows has some sort of Scheduler built in but I've never done anything with it but turn it off
Modern Windowsen also have the "AT" command line program which is sometimes a much more appropriate way to get at that capability than the "Scheduler" GUI approach. Haven't had occasion to use either yet, myself...
