Delete Unix/Linux file at a specific time in future.
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a command to delete a file in the future.
For example: If I create a file named unix.lst using the vi editor, but after I create it, what command will be suitable to delete "unix" files from the system at 13:40 military time with no log file.
I was going to use : find /root -name unix -exec rm {} \;
but I believe that it wont really work the way I want it to.
I would really appreciate your take on this.
Thanks in advance

create object - Creates an object entry
SYNOPSIS
cdscp create object object-name [CDS_Class = class-name CDS_ClassVersion = value]
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the object entry. The class of object entry being created. You can specify an application-defined class name. A class is
specified as a simple name limited to 31 characters. The version of the class assigned to the object entry. Specify the value as v.n,
where v defines the major release number and n specifies the minor version number. Specifying a class version is useful as it allows the
definition of a class to evolve as the application is revised.
DESCRIPTION
The create object command creates an object entry. This task is usually done through a client application.
Privilege Required
You must have insert permission to the parent directory.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command creates an object entry named /.:/sales/east/floor1cp. The object entry describes a color printer on the first floor
of a company's eastern sales office. cdscp> create object /.:/sales/east/floor1cp CDS_Class = printer CDS_ClassVersion = 1.0
