You mentioned the difference yourself in your mail.
Scripting in UNIX has been there since its inception and a lot of code
base is available, not quite so in win2k. (and who wanna be a 100%

Heck, this is how I set a one-hour alarm for myself in Linux:

bash$ sleep 3600; play alarm.wav

This works in all GNU/Linux systems since years.
