atrun
— run jobs
queued for later execution
atrun |
[-l load_avg]
[-d ] |
atrun
runs jobs queued by
at(1). Root's
crontab(5) must contain the
line:
*/10 * * * * /usr/libexec/atrun
so that atrun
gets called every ten
minutes.
At every invocation, every job in lowercase queues whose starting
time has passed is started. A maximum of one batch job (denoted by uppercase
queues) is started each time atrun
is invoked.
For atrun
to work, a
cron(8) daemon needs to be
running.

The functionality of atrun
should be
merged into cron(8).
