How could I know if one process it was executed ok or no by at?
We have programmed with user
rcaprod
$ echo "revisio_s_n.shl > revisio_s_n.out 2>&1" | at -t 12150700

I have in the OLDlog file:

" root 14386 c Mon Dec 15 07:00:00 MET 2003
! se ha alcanzado el lÃmite de ejecuciÃ³n mÃ¡xima de la cola a Mon Dec 15 07:00:00 MET 2003
! fijando la hora en un trabajo at Mon Dec 15 07:00:00 MET 2003"

Is it one error???, what is the meaning??
The job has not been executed.

Thanks!

To be honest, I have no idea what the error you are getting means but I would suggest you use the full path to revisio_s_n.shl in you r"echo" statement.

Pardon, it's in spanish it say:

"!Limit of maxim execution of the tail has been reached to Mon DEC 15 07:00:00 MET 2003
!fixing the hour to a work AT Mon DEC 15 07:00:00 MET 2003"

Hi,
i think it hasn't executed.

You can also check in the mail of the user starting the shell, if you find any evidence.

Looks like you have fullfilled a queue , check with "man queuedefs"

HTH,

Hi,
at the time when the job was to be executed you had reached the maximum limit for the number of simultaneous at jobs.
Please consult the man page for queuedefs and check your configuration of the number of simultaneous at jobs in /var/adm/cron/queuedefs
The standard number of simultaneous at jobs is 4 on most of the systems I have seen. Perhaps you should increase this number.

regards,
John K.

Carmen,

Check /var/adm/cron/log to see if the job has run. You should see a sequence of 3 entries describing the command, indicating its start, and indicating its completion:

> CMD: /apps/hols/bin/wb/checkweb.ksh
> informix 10559 c Tue Dec 16 06:13:00 EST 2003
< informix 10559 c Tue Dec 16 06:13:00 EST 2003

Carmen,

I was in a similar situation where at jobs wouldn't run and it wasn't a question of queuedefs.
