You can use the "at" command if it's going to be for something specific (not periodically): Try: at 4:10pm <ENTER> kill -15 `pidof myProcessName` <ENTER> <CTRL-D> You can specify as many commands you want after the "at" invocation and end it with a end-of-line (here invoked with CTRL-D). There are many ways to invoke the "at" command. Read the man page or google for it. HTH, Jorge
