Well you could write your own daemon to sleep, then wake up and do things on an interval. Here is the simplest.

#!/usr/bin/perl

while(1)
{
sleep(60);
@time = localtime(time);
if(($time[2] == 10) && ($time[1] == 0)
{
#do what ever you want to do at 10am 
}
}

Now you have a couple of problems running this on a remote host. 1. You may have to daemonize it, ( see Proc::Daemon ) because once you log out, your program will need to be able to run in the background). 2. Your sysadmin may not like it. Maybe ask your sysadmin what he/she suggests? You may have the "at" command, instead of cron.
