The AT command just takes a single command, so you write a batch file like the
3-liner I showed, and call that with the AT command.
So you just type
AT 23:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su "x:\analog\automatic.bat"
(Of course, you make sure that your batch file works as expected before you run
it under the scheduler, and then you practice by running the AT command 1 minute
ahead of the current time. Incrementalism is the best way to approach this.
People often trip over their directory structure when doing this, so use
explicit drive and directory references in your batch files, and in your Analog
configuration files).
