POSIX includes crontab and at. Consult your local operating system
documentation for details.
Typically crontab will run commands with /bin/sh, but you can ask it
to run a script, which would be interpreted by /bin/bash or whatever
you like. (Putting bash syntax directly into a crontab entry is not
a good idea.)
