"You can use the built in at command and specify a time:
at 7:30 /interactive notepad.exe
more geared to StackOverflow, but I just wrote a quick Python script that will utilize the at command and make the time conversions for you, it can be compiled to an executable with py2exe:
import sys,os,time
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
print ""Invalid number of arguments supplied""
print ""Usage: runwait.py <path_to_file> <time_in_seconds>\n""
print ""Example: runwait.py C:\Runme.exe 12000""
sys.exit(-1)
wait = time.time()+float(sys.argv[2])
futuretime = time.localtime(wait)
formatted = time.strftime(""%H:%M"",futuretime)
execstr = ""at"",formatted,""/interactive"",sys.argv[1]
os.system(' '.join(execstr))
example of use as shown in the script:
runwait.py C:\Runme.exe 12000
that will run the specified file in 12000 seconds (200 minutes/3 hours and 20 mins)
What the script does is basically grabs the current time, converts it to epoch time, adds the amount of seconds you specified back to that, converts the time back to something the at utility will accept, and adds it as a job."
