Let me add to John's reply by saying you can then use a <br>
(user-level) cron job and/or the "at" command. Or, create a <br>
pipeline using something like Snakemake (which is like a <br>
Makefile).<br>
<br>
I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether or not you'd <br>
(the OP) be successful, but even if you were, your system <br>
administrator might start asking why you are doing what <br>
you're doing. :-)<br>
