Duh! I knew about 'at', but had never used it, so of course, when I have
a need for it, I don't remeber it. Thanks Robert. 

Now, anyone want to help me figure out why it doesn't work? It works as root,
but when I try it from a usr account it doesn't. I get something like:

at -f 'echo hi' now + 1 minutes
at: echo hi: Permission denied 

even though the same works as root, there is an at.deny, I am not in it, there
is no at.allow, and permissions on at.deny are correct. (Sun Solaris 2.4 if 
that helps)
