Command to execute a script later

I would like to execute a script after 12 hours. I could execute the script by remote access, but problem is I will be travelling by flight and may not have internet access. So I was wondering if there is some command to execute a script after few hours or at some specific time. e.g.,

cat my_script.sh
echo Hello World
run my_script.sh at 23:00 hr
Solution

  • Take a look at the man page for at

    man at

    There are lots of ways you can specify the time. You can do something like:

    at -f my_script.sh 23:00
