The following was suggested:

:stream job1;at=20:30

In job 1
:job job1,user.acct
:run someprogram
:stream job1;at=20:30
:eoj

You might just a want to make a couple of changes:

:stream job1;at=20:30

In job 1
:job job1,user.acct
:Pause 60
:stream job1;at=20:30
:run someprogram
:eoj

Move the 'stream job1;at=20:30' above the run someprogram, just in case the
program(s) dies and you still want the job to be scheduled.  And add
'pause 60' so that the system clock gets a chance to change. Otherwise you can
end up with several job1's running.  Even if you leave the 'stream
job1;at=20:30' after the 'run someprogram' unless you know for sure that 'run
someprogram' will always take more than 60 seconds of wall time the 'pause 60'
will be needed.
