    You can use the "at" command if it's going to be for something specific (not
    periodically):

    Try:

    at 4:10pm <ENTER>
    kill -15 `pidof myProcessName` <ENTER>
    <CTRL-D>

    You can specify as many commands you want after the "at" invocation and end it
    with a end-of-line (here invoked with CTRL-D). There are many ways to invoke
    the "at" command. Read the man page or google for it.

    HTH,
    Jorge
