Perhaps this will help:

The UNIX and Linux Forums - BB Code List

Code:

#!/bin/bash
while ( true )
  do
    RequiredTime=06:00:00
    SysTime=`echo $(date) | awk '{print $4}'`
    if [[ $RequiredTime == $SysTime ]]; then
    body of script 
    sleep 1
    fi
done

I prefer start script from cron.
