cron / crontab options for a daily intense (but short-lived) workload

Questions / Help

I’m thinking about running a service that needs to execute once a day, slurp up a bunch of data, generate a report with a process that consumes a lot of memory/a lot of disk, then go quiet until the next day.

Because this process doesn’t need to run more than an hour or so a day, I don’t want to set up a machine that runs 24x7 idle most of the time.

Suggestions on documentation to follow / the best way to structure this welcomed.

Scheduled machines sounds like a good fit here.
