csh built-in 'sched' command perhaps?:
sched -n (+)
The first form prints the scheduled-event list. The sched
shell variable may be set to define the format in which the
scheduled-event list is printed. The second form adds command
to the scheduled-event list. For example,
> sched 11:00 echo It\'s eleven o\'clock.
see the manpage for tcsh(1) for more details if so.
