simple at question

Doug_3 — Fri, 19 Mar 2004 14:16:06 GMT

I don't usually us at. What occurs to an at command when the system is re-booted. I assume it stays in /var/spool/cron/atjobs and waits for cron to execute it.

Also, is there an at job log for post execution checking?

Thanks in advance,
Doug

Hi,

You will have to check the logfile if the atjob has been executed. I think if it is not executed the job will remain in the /var/spool/cron/atjobs, cron executes the jobs so the logfile is /var/adm/cron/log.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Doug,

Yes, an at job will survive a reboot and, as Robert-jan points out, it's logged in the cron log.
