As already stated, use at instead then.

Example:
Code:
$> at 11 Oct 2010
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> echo yo
at> <EOT>
job 7 at Mon Oct 11 09:30:00 2010
$> atq
7       Mon Oct 11 09:30:00 2010 a root

At this date, the echo will be fired off and disappear from the at queue.
For using a whole script, use the -f option to hand over a file.

NAME

       atq - display the jobs queued to run at specified times

SYNOPSIS

       atq [-c] [-n] [username...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  atq  utility  displays the at jobs queued up for the current user. at(1) is a utility that allows users to execute commands at a later
       date. If invoked by a user with the solaris.jobs.admin authorization, atq will display all jobs in the queue.

       If no options are given, the jobs are displayed in chronological order of execution.

       When an authorized user invokes atq without specifying username, the entire queue is displayed; when a username is  specified,  only  those
       jobs belonging to the named user are displayed.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c	Displays the queued jobs in the order they were created (that is, the time that the at command was given).

       -n	Displays only the total number of jobs currently in the queue.

FILES

       /var/spool/cron/atjobs	       spool area for at jobs.
