If you're going to enable specific commands in /etc/sudoers, I'd
recommend you enable access to the reboot command, rather than access to
the at or crontab commands. The latter two would open up all sorts of
possibilities for exploitation, whereas the former shouldn't make the
machine more vulnerable to anything other than a premature reboot.
