I need to replace a file at 5:30 today, but I will not be able to do
it then.
What would be the best way to do the following command at 5:30?

mv sample.txt.new  sample.txt

I have used cron in the past to do this, but then removed the job
before it was scheduled to run again.  I just need it done today not
everyday.  Is there a better way?
