- Some time after the time, where your command should be executed,
- look again into /usr/spool/at. If the file crated by your at command
- is still there, then atrun isn't executed from cron. The command
- atrun should be executed every 5 minutes from cron, to excute the
- spooled batches.
- If the batch file in /usr/spool/at is gone, something may be wrong
- with your command, so that it can't be executed.
