It should be possible. See

,----[ C-h f run-with-timer RET ]
| run-with-timer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `timer.el'.
| (run-with-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION &rest ARGS)
| 
| Perform an action after a delay of SECS seconds.
| Repeat the action every REPEAT seconds, if REPEAT is non-nil.
| SECS and REPEAT may be integers or floating point numbers.
| The action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS.
| 
| This function returns a timer object which you can use in
| `cancel-timer'.

I wouldn't do it. When you edit a file with emacsclient while the server
restarts, you'll lose the connection, I think, which probably asks for
troubles.
