There are utilities for sounding alarms, and others for running programs in a separate window. Is there on which does both? For example, written several Telix scripts to dial into bbs's and transfer mail. I'd like to do this late at night, while I sleep. Set an alarm for, say, 2 am and DESQview opens a window, starts Telix, transfers mail, then exits when the transfer is finished. Is this just a pipe dream? Or does such a utility already exist?
