.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.
