Could you be more specific, how do you want to start the apps?

If you want to run them at certain time then you need to check out the 'at' command.
If you want to run the command/program several times at certain time you could set up a 'cronjob' for it.

If you want to autostart the application when you login you can modify your .xinitrc file IF you are *not* using login managers such as [GKX]DM.
In those cases I'd check out your desktops autostart options. I don't know about those as I tend to keep my desktop pretty minimal.

Ok, then I'd go with at command. Install at if its not within default fedora installation. Run the atd daemon. Then you can schedule commands with it like:
Code:
at -f ~/bin/test.sh 02:10
Be sure to read the man page on how it works. I haven't used at myself and I don't know if it accepts compiled programs for execution or just shell scripts as it seems to run them with /bin/sh but you can test that.

Here's a good arcicle about at and cron to get you started.
