at

From RaySoft

at and batch read commands from standard input or a specified file which are to be executed at a later time.[1]

at executes commands at a specified time.[1]

atq lists the user's pending jobs, unless the user is the superuser; in that case, everybody's jobs are listed. The format of the output lines (one for each job) is: Job number, date, hour, queue, and username.[1]

atrm deletes jobs, identified by their job number.[1]

batch executes commands when system load levels permit; in other words, when the load average drops below 0.8, or the value specified in the invocation of atd.[1]
