Interactively.
peter@hertz:~$ declare -f wake
wake () 
{ 
    input="";
    until [[ $input != "" ]]; do
        echo Beginning loop.;
        /usr/bin/play /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav;
        read -n 1 -t 4 input;
    done
}

Therefore my .bashrc creates wake.

Nevertheless,
peter@hertz:~$ xterm -display :0 -e bash -c '. ~/.bashrc; declare -f wake; sleep 5'
shows a black xterm, which, after 5 s, closes.  Appears that this 
declaration fails.

That has become a secondary problem.  My current priority is to find 
why at fails to open the xterm at the specified future time. None of 
the at documents I've found mention error reporting.  Can a failure of 
at be investigated without changing and recompiling the source?

Thanks,              ... Peter E.
