Hi,

I think the only way to do that is to use crontab to schedule your task. The thing is that u have to be a privileged user in order to use crontab.

Hope this helps

The easiest way is by using "at".

Use something like
at now + 5 hours ./myscript

You don't necessarily need to be "priviledged" to use cron - it depends what you mean by priviledged - depending on OS, you can specify who is to use cron with cron.allow and cron.deny files.

Cheers
