Difference between Task scheduler and At command

The Task Scheduler is a tool included with Windows that allows predefined actions to be
automatically executed whenever a certain set of conditions is met. For example, you can
schedule a task to run a backup script every night, or send you an e-mail whenever a
certain system event occurs.

Example of task scheduler looks like in Microsoft Windows 7.

Purpose of Task scheduler

launch of programs or scripts at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals: job
scheduling (task scheduling).

The Task Scheduler service allows you to perform automated tasks on a chosen computer. With

At Command
AT an abbreviation for Attention are the commands used to control MODEMs. These commands
come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The Hayes commands
started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up and wireless MODEMs
(devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT commands to interact with a
computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset, along with other extended AT
commands.

In computing, at is a command in Unix-like operating systems, Microsoft Windows, and

ReactOS used to schedule commands to be executed once, at a particular time in the future.

AT commands with a GSM/GPRS MODEM or mobile phone can be used to access following
information and services.

SMS service, MMS service, Fax services.

Types of at command
Basic commands are AT commands that do not start with "+". For example, D (Dial), A
(Answer), H (Hook control), and O (Return to online data state) are basic commands.

Extended commands are AT commands that start with "+". All GSM AT commands are
extended commands. For example, +CMGS (Send SMS message), +CMGL (List SMS
messages), and +CMGR (Read SMS messages) are extended commands
