You may try using the Windows Schedule Tasks.  If I'm right, you can set
it to "run now" or at any time..

(SOLVED 99.9%)

But, if I enable the group and skip every day I'll get an skip bootstrap
report for this group every day. I want this group disabled and only
"execute" it using command line nor the GUI (it works ok using the
'savegrp'
command as most people recommend to me).

Now I would like to schedule it for a concrete day (i.e. next sunday) so
the operator can insert the HISTORY tapes in the autochanger and launch
the process that will remain scheduled for this day. The operator can
then shutdown the networker program and logoff of his windows session
(terminal or console).

Is the AT windows command a good utility for launching my 'savegrp'
command?
(I ask this because of the SYSTEM account, permissions, etc.). Our
Networker services are running using the SYSTEM account in the server so
I suppose that this trick will work but ... any idea or comment about
this?

Thanks.
