Sidekick Plus is supposed to be able to do this, via the Time Planner's
Quick Paste Alarm function.  The idea is that at a specific date/time
SK+ sends a string to whatever is running on the PC.  If the string
happens to be a command line and the "whatever is running" happens
to be command.com, the command will get executed.

Disclaimer:  I haven't actually tried this.  All I know is what I
read in the documentation.
