jt.exe also allows you to specify a timeout value.

It just occurred to me, that one needs a way to stop the defrag task, or else
it will defrag in a worst case scenario for 72hrs, which is the default
termination timeout of tasks added.
The way to do it is to apparantely deploy a new task with the command schtask
/end. It's described in the windows help. Syntax as follows:
---
Syntax
schtasks /end /tn TaskName [/s computer [/u [domain\]user /p password]] /?
Parameters
/tn TaskName
Identifies the task that started the program. This parameter is required.
/s Computer
Specifies the name or IP address of a remote computer (with or without
backslashes). The default is the local computer.
/u [domain\]user
Runs the command with the permissions of the specified user account. By
default, the command runs with the permissions of the user logged on to the
computer running SchTasks.
/p password
Specifies the password of the user account specified in the /u parameter. This
parameter is required when the /u parameter is used.
/?
Displays help.
---
For me it'd be something like: schtasks /end /tn at1 /ru ""
And set it to run three or so hours after the defrag started. The /ru ""
would indicate that the system account should be used.
