Is this a known issue and been addressed > in stable? I couldn't find a PR on it... Atrun which actually runs atjobs is run by cron every 5 minutes. For example if you specified that an at job is to run at 1826, it will run at 1830. If you want to have atrun run more frequently, update /etc/crontab. Additionally, atrun will defer the running of any atjobs if the load average exceeds 1.5. This can be changed with the -l option.
