Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
One of our clients has frequent power outages that don't follow any sort of schedule.

Each time, we need to "time" this using shutdown /s /t a day or so in advance, and we have to calculate the number of minutes until the desired shutdown time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Besides shutdowns, there are several cases where we have desired to quickly fire off bulk command / script at a scheduled time as opposed to creating a one-time task in Automation Manager.

In addition, we often use the same Automation Policies across clients (using sub containers as a workaround for fine grained policies). This works perfect for our needs, but since you can only apply one policy per container it would be much more flexible and powerful (and easier) if we could schedule bulk tasks to run at a specified time.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Some commands like shutdown allow us to work around this. Another potential workaround is to do a bulk command that adds the task using the build in Windows Task Scheduler, but this is a lot more work.

Additional context
IMO Tools -> Bulk Command and Tools -> Bulk Script would benefit form having a scheduling option similar to the Reboot Later option:

For consistency, I also think the right-click on agent -> Send Command and Run Script should have this option as well.

Thank you,
