Let me add to John's reply by saying you can then use a 
(user-level) cron job and/or the "at" command.  Or, create a 
pipeline using something like Snakemake (which is like a 
Makefile).

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether or not you'd 
(the OP) be successful, but even if you were, your system 
administrator might start asking why you are doing what 
you're doing.  :-)
