Help with at command


How do I schedule a script with parameters to run at a certain time? I know i can run one without parameters by typeing at -f mycommand 20:00, but what if mycommand has two int parameters? at -f mycommand 1 2 20:00 won't work.

I believe the correct syntax is:

at <parameters for at> <return>
command <parameters> <return>
<control-d>

Hope this works for you.
