two things come to mind.
cron
at
both of those will execute scripts at a given time, however 'at' is for one time only, 'cron' is repetitious. they will both work through reboots, as long as the downtime doesn't occur when the script is supposed to execute
Thank you very much !!!! I got some troubles with at last time I had to do atrm on about 15000 jobs !! I did run a loop script in order to remove all them... Noob mistakes :-) :-)
cron is the best for sure !!

haha, you gotta love those. I replicated one of my webservers using wget and every directory had 8 INDEX.HTMLs. there were like 500 of them of them to remove. was no fun.
