The Esstu Pack

At

At is a simple fixed-time scheduler. When the specified time occurs, AT will execute one REXX command - if there's any error a standard REXX error message will be shown.

Includes a predefined routine TELEGRAF to pipe a message to Telegraf/2 (which must be running on the same computer as At).

AT requires two arguments: the time at which to trigger (24 hour format) and the REXX code to execute. If the time is invalid or is not between the current time and midnight, AT exits immediately.

Examples:

AT 15:30 CALL TELEGRAF "Goon Show time!"

will send a message to Telegraf/2 at 3:30PM with text 'Goon Show time!';

AT 10:00 FetchMail MyAccount

will execute "FetchMail MyAccount" as an OS/2 command at 10:00AM (FetchMail could be .COM, .EXE, .CMD, .BAT, or an internal OS/2 command).
