at is @#^$%& broken. To compare it to cron(8) is an insult. It unschedules tasks at the faintest whiff of trouble. (Don't dare let your tasks fail, or they go into the great unscheduled limbo.) This is especially problematic if you're trying to deal with a network share that's periodically unavailable.

If you start trying to use at, do yourself a favor and make a batch file to reschedule your jobs, since you'll find yourself rescheduling them again and again and again and ...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
