You may want to take a look at Windows' task scheduler or whatever it is on the 
platform you are targeting. While it's possible to come up with something 
better and easier, I usually find that straying from UI paradigms that users 
are accustomed to can end up causing a lot of needless pain for the developer: 
annoying bug reports that aren't really bugs and feature requests to make 
something act "normal".

If you want something graphical, I'd make the input a selection (like a date 
picker) or typed in, and perhaps have an analog clock graphic that can indicate 
to the user potential problems.

My 2 cents.
