I gave kind of an answer to that in my original posting. :-) At least I run batch and at, and I do it *all the time*. There is imho no more convenient way of firing off a background job than using batch, it's a hidden gem in the unix toolbox. And using at makes it super easy to schedule tasks at times when it is more convenient to run them than "now". And if you have output you get it in a mail when it's done. Very spiffy!
