Re: at command stopped working



Yes, the job shows up when I run "atq". I also checked the syslog file
and it doesn't seem to contain anything relevant to "at" command. Here
is output from my shell:

After you schedule a job, does it show up in the queue when you run
"atq"?

After a scheduled job fails to run, are there any error messages in
/var/log/syslog?
