you're right, at runs at a specific future date once, cron runs at a date,
then repeats when that date rolls around again. that's what they're
supposed to do.

i suppose if you're weird you could set up a cron tab to insert an at job
on mon-fri. but you'd have to be more weird than me to do that, and that's
sayen somethin.
