	Or even easier, you can leave this running in a terminal:

rush -pause somejobid.123; sleep 3600; rush -cont somejobid.123

	..which would start the job in an hour.

	If you're on windows and don't have a 'sleep' command like unix,
	you can replace 'sleep 3600' with 'rush -sleep 3600' which does
	the same thing on all platforms.

	'waitfor' is probably the best way, but I admit I sometimes like to use
	the above 'sleep' approach, just 'cause I'm such a command line freak.
