`at' is required by POSIX, but I don't know of a GNU version of the
application. There was a request to add it to coreutils last year
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-12/msg00030.html),
but no one has taken on the task. Other than that, if cygwin does not
have a POSIX-mandated utility, it is because no one has volunteered to
port an existing open-source version, or to write it from scratch. `cron'
is the next best tool, and if you set up cron correctly it does work;
search the archives for help in setting up cron.
