The program "Auto-Mite" that I listed before waits until the specified time,
awakens (regardless of keyboard inactivity/activity) and warns you with a 
beep and small windowed message that the time has come to run a process.  If 
you are in the middle of something, you can press a function key that will delay
the program for a specified time.  You can also press a key that causes immediate
execution.

The only problem, the programmers tried to be nice, just in case you went to
get coffee when the time comes, if you don't respond the program continues to
beep for ten minutes before going ahead with the execution.

The new version, (the one I don't have yet) claims that you can configure it to 
not wait, that is if you don't confirm/deny the program, it runs anyway.
