ATRUN(8) FreeBSD 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

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