Yeah!

Or just try to make something like this idea, and when it's nearly the
exact time give the proccess a higher priority. With this you should
avoid situation like the case of have a high CPU use and your triggered
program trying to hardly execute something.
Both suggestions look like a great theory but I cannot find a "down to earth" example in any of the forums I know. I do have a Perl script ready for the action, but am not sure how to make sure the server time is accurate, and especially give a job the highest priority ?
