Hi Bryant,
SOON is in the resource kit, and almost works under NT 4.0 & Win 2000.
Below is the help for soon. I think this might be easier than AT because
you can schedule a job to run without knowing the current time.
Later

---------------------------------------------------------------
SOON : Command Scheduling Utility : by kevina@microsoft.com
---------------------------------------------------------------
Usage : SOON [\\computername] [delay] [/INTERACTIVE] "command"
or : SOON /D [/L:n] [/R:n] [/I:{ON|OFF}]
delay : the number of seconds from now when the scheduled job should start.
/D : modify Default settings and/or display their current values.
/L : set LocalDelay - default delay for Local jobs - initially 5 seconds.
/R : set RemoteDelay - default delay for Remote jobs - initially 15
seconds.
/I : set InteractiveAlways option - initially OFF.
SOON schedules a job to run in the near future, a number of seconds from now.
SOON closely resembles the AT command because SOON simply runs a suitable AT
command. For a details of the other arguments run "AT /?" without the quotes.
Examples : SOON CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON 10 CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON \\SERVER 60 /C \JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON \\SERVER /INTERACTIVE CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON /d /l:2 /r:30 /i:on
Current Settings : InteractiveAlways = OFF
LocalDelay (seconds) = 5
RemoteDelay (seconds) = 15
