Speaking of the new at, it no longer supports abbreviations for minute/hour/day/week like the old at did. E.g. I can't do: "at now +1d", instead I have to do "at now +1day" instead. The old abbreviations were: min/m/hr/h/d/w. It might be nice to get them back. The new at also is unable to remove at jobs from the queue. E.g. atrm doesn't work, and interrupting at while it is reading stdin for commands fails to remove the /var/at/jobs/XXX file. This is because the REDUCDE_PRIVS macro in at winds up setting both uid/euid to the uid of the caller. -- Mike Pritchard pritc003@maroon.tc.umn.edu "Go that way. Really fast.
