I want if program is running that it wakes up program on each day (example at 17:15)

That is what cron is for which can run something regularly at any set day of week or month, or time of day, or interval. In a terminal see:

man cron
man crontab
man 5 crontab

If you want something to run as root use sudo crontab -e to configure it. If you want it to run as you do crontab -e. Note that the environment will be minimal, so it is best to assume no environment, export any environment you need and/or use full paths (not shortcuts like ~/ or $HOME/ ).

Although, if you just want to set an alarm to do something once only, you might web search "linux rtc".
