how to use the windows "at" command to schedule a java job?

[Victor Humphrey]

I have been using the "at" command to schedule some other .exe jobs, but
when the job is the java.exe interpreter, it will simply not start. I am
aware that the default directory for a process started by "at" is
c:\windows\system32\, and we must set the classpath environment variable to
allow the intended java class to be found. What else have I left out? Thank
you.

Actually it is preferable not to set the environment variable at all and
instead use the command line option.

Is your java executable in the system path or do you use its full path?
