| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 22 | .PP
|
|---|
| 23 | \fBAt\fR prepares a file to be executed later at the specified time by
|
|---|
| 24 | creating a special entry in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR. The \fBcron\fR daemon
|
|---|
| 25 | takes care of executing these jobs. It checks to see if any
|
|---|
| 26 | files in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR should now be run, and if so, it runs them
|
|---|
| 27 | and then puts them in \fB/usr/spool/at/past\fR.
|
|---|
| 28 | The name of the file created in \fB/usr/spool/at\fR by \fBat\fR is
|
|---|
| 29 | YY.DDD.HHMM.UU (where YY, DDD, HH, and MM give the time to execute and
|
|---|
| 30 | UU is a unique number). Note that when the command runs, it will not be able
|
|---|
| 31 | to use standard input unless specifically redirected. Standard output
|
|---|
| 32 | will be mailed to the owner of the job.
