[comp.os.eunice] AT on Eunice 4.3.2

Does anyone have the "at" command working properly on
Eunice 4.3.2? Every combination we have tried of privledges
and methods of running "atrun" has failed.

This may be due to the cron(1) daemon not working correctly.  I was
unable to get my 4.3.2 cron(1) to work under VMS 4.7+ and reported it to
TWG support.   They've acknowledged the problem and are working on it.

I suggest putting some simple commands in /usr/lib/crontab and seeing if they
work.  If they do, would you please tell me.
