I don't see it. I have monthly, weekly and daily jobs that I want to run 
sequentially, in that order, starting at 8pm. How would I do that using 
'at'? Preferably without making the actual jobs know about each other, 
e.g. not teaching the weekly job that it should be followed by the daily 
job.

I made a combined job that basically does this:
if it is the first of the month:
   run monthly job and wait for completion
if it is Saturday:
   run the weekly job and wait for completion
run the daily job

The combined job is scheduled for 8pm execution with cron. Seems to work 
so far...
