- Ok, here's a summary of what I've found out about how "at" works. Thanks
- to all of you who responded!! :-)
-
- "at 11:00 today test" does not work because the IRIX version of "at" needs
- the executable name to be input on stdin. Thus, the first version listed
- above won't work because it's assuming "test" is part of the syntax
- describing the time/date, as Dave Olson has indicated.
-
- The following all aparently work:
- > at 11:00 today
- test
- ^D
-
- > at 11:00 today < test
-
- > test | at 11:00 today
-
- The problem I was having was that most other versions of "at" I've used use
- the last argument as the name of the executable and the difference between
- those and the IRIX version wasn't especially clear to me from the manpage.
-
- Again, thanks to those who responded.
