I can think of a few ways to do it, but the easiest for an old time R:base 
programmer is to just use a simple loop looking at the time every few seconds. 
Try something like this:


set var vnext time = .#time

label top
if vnext <= .#time then
   set var vnext = (.vnext + (60*60))  -- time in secondes 60min x 60sec
   run whatever.cmd
endif
pause for 30  -- wait 30 seconds
goto top   
return
