- I have had the following problem for a long time and I can't
- get/find an explanation on how to solve and avoid it.
- I use the at(1) command to schedule up to about 1000 jobs at 1 minute intervals
- (sometimes a few hundred less )
-
- occasionally at(1) starts spitting out an extra message
- with each job scheduled and continues to do so until the end.
- Usually the messages begin half way through (that is early enough
- that they can't be accounted by running more or fewer jobs)
- the messages look like this:

- also it seem that some of the at jobs with the error message actually run
- and some don't
-
- I would appreciate any suggestions that would help me avoid this
- the machine is a :
- uname -a
- smst1n smst1n 3.2.2 3 3B2
-
- and there seems to be plenty of space:
