Hi Mark,
My reading of the at(1) man page
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=at&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html)
implies that the -f option is used to specify a file containing the
commands you wish to execute, not the actual commands themselves.
In that case, create a temporary file with commands like '/path/script
20 test', etc. in it and then use "at -f" to run the commands in that
file at the specified time.
Regards,
Greg
