.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
\fBAt\fR prepares a file to be executed later at the specified time by
|
|
|
|
|
creating a special entry in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR. The \fBcron\fR daemon
|
|
|
|
|
takes care of executing these jobs. It checks to see if any
|
|
|
|
|
files in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR should now be run, and if so, it runs them
|
|
|
|
|
and then puts them in \fB/usr/spool/at/past\fR.
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the file created in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR by \fBat\fR is
|
|
|
|
|
YY.DDD.HHMM.UU (where YY, DDD, HH, and MM give the time to execute and
|
|
|
|
|
UU is a unique number). Note that when the command runs, it will not be able
|
|
|
|
|
to use standard input unless specifically redirected. Standard output
|
|
|
|
|
will be mailed to the owner of the job.
