ATRUN(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual ATRUN(8) NAME atrun - run jobs queued for later execution SYNOPSIS atrun [-l load_avg] [-d] DESCRIPTION atrun runs jobs queued by at(1). Root's crontab(5) must contain the line: */10 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun so that atrun(8) gets called every ten minutes. At every invocation, every job in lowercase queues whose starting time has passed is started. A maximum of one batch job (denoted by uppercase queues) is started each time atrun is invoked. The options are as follows: -l load_avg Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compiled-in value of 1.5. -d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3). WARNINGS For atrun to work, you have to start up a cron(8) daemon. FILES /var/at/spool directory containing output spool files /var/at/jobs directory containing job files SEE ALSO at(1), crontab(1), syslog(3), crontab(5), cron(8) AUTHORS Thomas Koenig <ig25@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>. BUGS The functionality of atrun should be merged into cron(8). OpenBSD 3.0 April 12, 1995 1
