To *pause* the process until the desired time there are some options. I
use to make a C program, use in it the sleep statement or signaling, and
then launch the *triggered script* or whatever. But unfortunately I
don't have any of this programs on the hand now. I will look for them
this night at home.

But you can use others languages that support somethink like the
sleep_until, or sleep statements.

For increase the priority, use the 'nice' command. Works very very fine,
since it's close to the kernel process scheduler.
