The Unix "at" command uses relative time specs. You might consider a similar format. Here's a cut and paste from the man page.

At allows some moderately complex time specifications. It accepts times

of the form HHMM or HH:MM to run a job at a specific time of day. (If

that time is already past, the next day is assumed.) You may also speci-

fy midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and you can have a time-of-day suf-

fixed with AM or PM for running in the morning or the evening. You can

also say what day the job will be run, by giving a date in the form

month-name day with an optional year, or giving a date of the form MMDDYY

or MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY. The specification of a date must follow the

specification of the time of day. You can also give times like [now] +

count time-units, where the time-units can be minutes, hours, days, or

weeks and you can tell at to run the job today by suffixing the time with

today and to run the job tomorrow by suffixing the time with tomorrow.
