I had a similar need recently, and since the discussion in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-992780-highlight-.html had led to nothing satisfactory for me, I have written a scheduler tool which serves my needs (which might very well differ from yours...): The corresponding tool is still in beta testing phase: https://github.com/vaeth/schedule/ You can install it from the mv overlay (available over layman).
