At command

Is there a way to schedule a job to run on the 22nd of each month using "at -f"

Hi,

for periodically scheduled jobs you have to use the crontab not the at command.
Edit your crontab with:

crontab -e

(this starts a vi session with the current crontab)

For every 22nd day of a month ie. at 10:00 am insert:

0 10 22 * *

For further information see 'man crontab'

Hi !

Andreas has right, only one other think add user to /var/adm/cron/cron.allow to access use crontab.

Yes, by making your 'at' job create another 'at' job when it runs (usualy at the end).
But, why would you want to when crontab is designed to do this?
