[comp.unix.aix] Problem with the at queue

bis@ifi.uio.no (Bjorn Ivar Stark) (12/20/90)

Several times I have experienced that some jobs being in the at-queue
have just been left there (i.e. forgotten) while other haven't
(for the one and same user). When the system restarts,
however, they are (all) started.

Any idea, anyone? (IBM RISC SYSTEM/6000 mod 530 running AIX Version 3.1)

You don't mention which level you are on (3001, 3002, ...) but my
guess is because there were problems with the release level of the
at/batch commands that didn't get fixed until later.  I think this
was fixed as of 3003 (if not 3002).  Call in an APAR if you think it
merits it.
