I want to add a schedule job that only run one time ( eg. 1st Sep 2007 , 09:00am) , I know crontab can't do that , can advise how to set it ? thx

Use the "at" command. See man at for date format specification. See also atq and atrm.

, please advise how to set the time , for example , if 1st Sep 2007 , 09:00am , is it 200709010900 how to set it ? thx

Yeah, that's right.

So:

at -t 200709010900

From there, you type the commands you want to do, otherwise just < the command list into at.
