Batch scripts doesnt support any real timing functions, so its not preferable for this. But perhaps there are other scripts more suitable for this (which also can run as a shell script). Unfortunately i dont know any, but perhaps someone else does.

you can just do your shell script, then use the crontab to schedule to run your script every 20min till your target time.
