FWIW, cron is for periodic tasks.  If you need a one-off at a specific time see at.

But can be managed from the command line, which means you can drive them from LC if needed through the shell function.

And. conversely, you can drive LC from cron - i.e. to schedule something regular, just use cron, and make the cron task be something like

wget https://mydomain.com/index.lc/domynightlytask

so you get to script the task in your usual way (e.g. within revigniter), and do the scheduling with cron (generally accessible from cPanel as well as shell).
