With cron you can set any program to run at any time, provided you have
the privileges to run the program.  For instance, I used my computer as
an alarm clock for a time.  I had a cron job that would run at 6:30 am
every day that would play a list of about 10-15 songs.  I just had to
leave my speakers on.
