The "at" command creates a scheduled task on a machine. There are
switches to control all the settings that are normally done using the
GUI.
If you want to use the at command on remote machines. Have a look at
the SysInternals' PSTools package:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml
It includes a tool called PsExec. This allows you to execute a command
on a remote PC and even allows for starting cmd.exe to open a fully
functional command prompt.
This uses the RPC service in NT/2000 and will require it to be running
on the other machine.
Hope this clears things up a little.
