Hi David,

Welcome on the list.

Yes, that's possible. Today an OCS Inventory info file look like that:
<DOWNLOAD ID="1274994722" PRI="5" ACT="STORE"
DIGEST="ae9fc629ee6e6a5c219c7341ecf53cd2" PROTO="HTTP" FRAGS="2"
DIGEST_ALGO="MD5" DIGEST_ENCODE="Hexa" PATH="c:/tmp" NAME=""
COMMAND="" NOTIFY_USER="0" NOTIFY_TEXT="" NOTIFY_COUNTDOWN=""
NOTIFY_CAN_ABORT="0" NOTIFY_CAN_DELAY="0" NEED_DONE_ACTION="0"
NEED_DONE_ACTION_TEXT="" GARDEFOU="rien" />

I think it's simpler to add a new key SCHEDULE=$timestamp to this XML.
So, for example if SCHEDULE=NOW+13 and STORE=/tmp/root, we will
extract and move the files in /tmp/root in 13 seconds.

FYI, this module is maintained there:
