Re: Help w/ At utility

While stranded on the hard shoulder of the information super highway vicki.holz@xxxxxxxxx typed:
I'm using Fedora Core 4 as my distro!

I know this is one of the simplest utilities to use, but in class, we
did this example:

# su -
password: ******

at 1PM

at> ls
at> Ctrl-D <EOT>
job 1 at 2006-02-24 13:00

When it was time for the job to run, it wouldn't.

How do you know that it didn't run? I'm guessing that you were
expecting to see the output fron ls on your screen. The ls command
sends the output to stdout. Question for you - for cron and at
where is stdout? at sends it's output to mail - try running the
mail command and you should find the output from your ls command.
