ATRUN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ATRUN(8) NAME atrun -- run jobs queued for later execution SYNOPSIS atrun [-l load_avg] [-d] DESCRIPTION Atrun runs jobs queued by at(1). Root's crontab(5) file /etc/crontab has to contain the line */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun so that atrun gets invoked every five minutes. At every invocation, atrun will start all the jobs in the lowercase queues whose start time has elapsed. In addition, if the load average over the last minute was less than the specified limit then a maximum of one batch job (denoted by the uppercase queues) is started. OPTIONS -l load_avg Specify a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compiled in default of 1.5. -d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3). WARNINGS For atrun to work, you have to start up a cron(8) daemon. FILES /var/at/spool Directory containing output spool files /var/at/jobs Directory containing job files SEE ALSO at(1), crontab(1), syslog(3), crontab(5), cron(8) BUGS The functionality of atrun should be merged into cron(8).
