can any one point me in the direction of an LSL script that will trigger an action, like light up, etc., at a specific real-world time of day, say 5p, SLT?

as far as i know, you need to run timers for that. fairly long timer, check current time (or you could check time, and run a timer all the way through, but that gets more possible to miss with script hiccups/sim restarts)
It would be timer based yeah, I've used this for doing it based on SL sun position with something like 
but I'd imagine you might need to tie it to something like LlGetTimestamp - Second Life Wiki instead

Ya, using the SL sun is an old fave of mine, but I'm looking more for actual, real world time. Like "every day at 9 am, the roll top door opens," then "every night at 5pm, the roll top door closes"

yeah, just use sun position thing, but with a timestamp or wallclock or similar

(and you can more or less keep it more accurate by checking time to make sure it's at the right second each time the timer hits, and adjust as necessary, which doesn't work as easily for the sun position)
