using at command line to schedule tasks

[Randy]

I need to use the AT command line to submite a job as the
system account. Is there a way at the command line to
schedule a task to run on the first and third Tuesday of
every month? What would be the syntax?

thanks for the help.

at \\pcname 20:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,sa,su "some command"

would run "some command" every day at 20:00 hours
Substitute the full quoted path for "some command"

at /?
for other syntax.

Use the syntax suggested by Dave Patrick to invoke the following
batch file ***every*** Thursday:

@echo off
SetLocal
for /F "tokens=2 delims=/ " %%d in ('echo %date%') do set dom=%%d
if %dom% LEQ 07 goto Action
if %dom% LEQ 14 goto :Eof
if %dom% LEQ 21 goto Action
goto :eof

:Action
YourCommand.exe
EndLocal

The batch file works for a %date% format of the following form:
Dow DD/MM/YYYY
If your date format is different then you must adjust the "token="
parameter accordingly.

I did not check the conditional statements exhaustively to ensure
that they fire your command every first and third Thursday each
month. You need to verify this yourself.
