is their a way to use
zenity --info --text="test" instead of notify-send 'yay'
in the command
at 18:17

i was told that to get zenity to work i had to Throw it into a script file and run it as:
at -f /path/to/script.sh 18:17
what would the script look like? the best i can do is
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo 'notify-send'
date
read date
at $date
their has to be an easyer way to write the script

If the command "zenity --info --text="test" instead of notify-send 'yay'" is what you are trying to launch using at then you would want to create a bash script file (lets name it script.sh) with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --text="test" instead of notify-send 'yay' #put your shell commands here
Then you would set it to run using at by using the syntax you used above "at -f /path/to/script.sh 18:17". Also don't forget to make the script executable to the user account that is calling it through the at command.
