Default Launching\contrloling from a console in Linux?

I recently got FrostWire as part of an Ubuntu Linux distro, it seems like a nice program but slows the machine down too much to use with other stuff. (This isn't a problem in itself because the machine in question has only 2 Pentium Pros at 200MHz a piece.)

I'm still new to working with Linux but I was thinking about setting it to automatically execute at night and then shut off in the morning with KAlarm, however at the moment I'm not sure how. I only realized it was a java app after several minutes and chance look at the processes screen.

Assuming this in't too off topic for this forum I would like to know how I would go about launching FrostWire from a command line, shutting down the same way as well as any other interesting or worthwhile arguments that could be passed to it...or a link to said information I may have missed in which case I apologize for being sloppy.

Thank you in advance for any information.
