I needed something like this. I play music for my son when he goes to sleep, now I don't have to risk waking him up to turn iTunes off!

I also found EscapePod...a nifty little kill sequence for apps...now I can give my hung apps the three finger salute!!! Here's the link. (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/freebies/)

You know you can do this with either Cron, or more recently, iCal. The only other thing that you need is two AppleScripts - one to stop iTunes, one to start it. In iCal, set a recurring event, and set 'open file' as your alarm, opening the appropriate AppleScript.
