AT(1)AT(1)NAMEat - execute commands at a later time
SYNOPSISat time [month day] [file]
EXAMPLESat 2315 Jan 31 myfile
# Myfile executed Jan 31 at 11:15 pm
at 0900 # Job input read from stdin
at 0711 4 29 # Read from stdin, exec on April 29
DESCRIPTION
At prepares a file to be executed later at the specified time by creat‐
ing a special entry in /usr/spool/at. The cron daemon takes care of
executing these jobs. It checks to see if any files in /usr/spool/at
should now be run, and if so, it runs them and then puts them in
/usr/spool/at/past. The name of the file created in /usr/spool/at by
at is YY.DDD.HHMM.UU (where YY, DDD, HH, and MM give the time to exe‐
cute 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.
