sched is an immediate scheduler built into tcsh and some other shells.

[edit] Syntax

The syntax is simple:

• Schedule a command for +hh:mm after now:

  sched +hh:mm command.

• Schedule a command for hh:mm:

  sched hh:mm command

• Subtract a scheduled command:

  sched -job

• Show sheduled commands:

  sched

[edit] Examples

4:47:45pm > sched +0:0 echo "execute after 0hrs 0min (now)"
execute after 0hrs 0min (now)
4:47:54pm > sched 4:48p echo "command executed at 4:48p"
4:47:58pm > sched
1       16:48   echo "command executed at 4:48p"
4:48:00pm > command executed at 4:48p
