Schedule commands to run later on Linux and Mac
For scheduling periodical tasks you have Cron. But if you just want to schedule a command to run later you can use at.
# at 12:00 # at> echo “Scheduled phrase”|mail addr@provider.com # at> (type control+d) job 6 scheduled at 2009-06-16 12:00
You can see the scheduled tasks with atq and remove them with atrm
# atq 6 2009-06-16 12:00 a root # atrm 6 (where 6 is the task id)
