Yes, Using webmin you can run a cron job with dynamic time interval. — Deepika, May 24 '13 at 05:48
Webmin is not something you should use just for dynamic time interval jobs. — Daniel Lockard, May 24 '13 at 06:05

You might be looking for the at command. You can use at to trigger a cron-like event at a certain time.

Here are some examples:

$ echo "wget https://www.example.com" | at 11:45 jan 31

I believe this also works:

$ echo "wget https://www.example.com" | at now next week
