Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] At Command

Got that. Here's the instructions:

1. Get binaries of: at, atd  (and if you'd like, atq, batch, atrm).
2. Get /etc/init.d/atd, and modify the path and functions to match
those in devil linux.
3. Add the daemon user to the system. (Redhat version needs it at
least). *(That's what was getting me).
4. Add directories /var/spool/at, and /var/spool/at/spool, both with
700 permissions, and owned by daemon.
5. Add empty .SEQ file to /var/spool/at , and `chown daemon` on file..
6. Create empty file at /etc/at.deny .

You'll have to create /var files at boot since it is erased on shutdown.

That's what I did to get it working anyways.
