It lives in the winnt\system32\ directory - at.exe
type at /? at the command line and you should see some help info for it.
You have to have the scheduling service running for it to work, but
apart from that it's pretty straightforward.
If you want to have notepad pop up you would type something like this:
at 10:15 /interactive "notepad.exe"
That's assuming that notepad is in a directory on your path.
You can also specify the full path:
at 10:15 /interactive "c:\winnt\notepad.exe"
If you want to call it from cfexecute, you need to pass the arguments to
the command as an array:
<cfset args = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset args[1] = timeformat(dateadd('n',1,now()),"HH:MM")>
<cfset args[2] = "/interactive">
<cfset args[3] = "notepad.exe">
<cfexecute name="c:\winnt\system32\at.exe" arguments="#args#"
timeout="3" />
That should make Notepad popup on the screen of the server where it is
executed less than a minute after the file is browsed.
