Yes, the 'waitfor' submit command allows several ways to specify
a time to wait for before starting the job:
http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/rush/rush-submit-cmds.html#WaitFor
To use this in one of the GUI submit forms, you can specify the following
at the 'Submit Commands:' prompt under the 'Rush' tab:
waitfor 18:00
..which will cause the job to remain in a 'wait' state until 6pm.
Or, if you're using your own submit script, you can equally do:
rush -submit << EOF
..
waitfor 18:00
..
EOF
Note that you can also specify relative times, eg.
"waitfor +4h" for "4 hours from now", or a specific
time and date. See the above link for examples.
