The at command sucks and is unreliable. MS replaced it with 'Scheduled Tasks' which installs when you install IE 5.0. Try that, it is much more reliable.

I've used an app called WinAT that is not so bad. I agree that AT is of very poor quality.

The only problem with Task Scheduler (correct me if I'm wrong) is that it only runs when someone is logged on. If you schedule a task logged on as Joe Schmoe then log off for the night, it won't run, even if you are logged on as someone else.
