Imay not be clear on what you are asking but
you place your invocation command and all other specifications
(such as the filename of the program and any options or
switches) into an executable shellscript file, and then specify the
executable in an at command, such as...
at 2:30a < execthis
...where execthis is an executable shellscript you have created.
(Of course, the name execthis is arbitrary, and can be any
filename you choose.)
You can also enter it from the command line like...
$ at 1 am March 21
at> tar cvf ~/inprogress backup.tar
at> compress backup.tar
at> CTRL-d
warning: cmds will be executed with /bin/sh
