You might try creating an empty file "/usr/spool/at/at.deny". The man page for "at" refers to the allow and deny lists & says these files are in /usr/spool/at/cron/at.*list in the text of the man page and in /usr/spool/at/at.*list in the FILES section of the man page. However, if you do a "strings" on /usr/bin/at and grep for "deny" it shows /usr/spool/at/at.deny. I think the problem may be that if there is no allow or deny list then your job isn't run. And, I suspect the man page is incorrect as to what files are really being checked. Hope this helps! Ruth Aydt aydt@cs.uiuc.edu

Make sure that /usr/spool/at points to /var/spool/at which may not be the case if, for instance, /usr/spool is mounted as a separate file system. Some of the software refers to /usr/spool/at, some other part seems to refer to /usr/lib/cron which should also point to /var/spool/at. Dietrich Wiegandt CERN CN Division
