NAME

     atrun - run jobs queued for later execution


SYNOPSIS

     atrun


DESCRIPTION

     The atrun utility runs commands queued by at(1).  It is usually invoked
     by cron(8) every ten minutes.


FILES

     /var/at/jobs      Directory containing job files
     /var/at/spool     Directory containing output spool files
     /var/at/lockfile  Job-creation lock file.


SEE ALSO

     at(1),  cron(8)

BUGS

     The functionality of atrun should arguaby be merged into cron(8).


CAVEATS

     Since the default configuration causes atrun to be invoked every ten min-
     utes, commands queued by at(1) may end up being executed up to nine min-
     utes later than would be otherwise expected.
