'man at' will tell you how to use the 'at' command to run a task at a particular time.

If you just run something like 'at now + 1 hour' it will present you a shell that you issue your command on:

at now + 1 hour
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> kill -9 91282
at> <EOT>

Ctrl+d gets you out of that shell and saves the job.


This job will kill process 91282 in one hour from invocation.
