Yes try 

at..

Do a man on at...

It is for running commands only once..

I have NEVER used it but, it should do the job for you.

The command <someone yell if this is wrong>

As root

# at <some time let say it's 9 PM now> 10PM  < so in one hour..Check
time on remote machine>
at> ifup eth0
at> ctrl-d <control -d>

Then it will list some job number

You can check the que

# atq

<your job should be lister here>





This goes on the REMOTE pc....
