- Hi,
-
- I was reading the man page for at(1) and I noticed the command
- batch. If I may quote the man page:
-
- DESCRIPTION
- at and batch read commands from standard input to be exe-
- cuted at a later time. at allows you to specify when the
- commands should be executed, while jobs queued with batch
- will execute as soon as the system load level permits.
- [...]
-
-
- My question is, when does the load level permit?
-

- Cheers,
-
- Ian
