[SOLVED] how to list the exact Job in at

ZAMO · 06-28-2010, 08:20 PM

Hi all,

Am using "atq" to list a scheduled job using "at" already configured in a Linux box. How can I know , which script/executable is configured in that particular Job?

Code:

bash-3.00# atq
 Rank     Execution Date     Owner      Job            Queue   Job Name
  1st   Jun 25, 2010 00:00   root       1277856000.a     a     stdin
  2nd   Jun 25, 2010 00:00   root       1277856001.a     a     stdin

How can I know , the script/executable to be executed by 1277856000.a?

Thanks

As long as the job isn't completed the at script resides somewhere in /var/spool/at so you can 'at -c' or 'cat' the job file as long as you have access rights. BTW your 'at -l' or 'atq' returning a "Rank Execution Date Owner Job Queue Job Name" header makes me think this is not a Linux Server question, correct?

Yes , this is in a solaris box.

Then next time please post in the Solaris/OpenSolaris forum, TIA.

This thread has been moved to the Solaris forum so that it may get the exposure it deserves.

On Solaris, that would be /var/spool/cron/atjobs/1277856000.a. Only the last line(s) are the commands you scheduled. Before that is a lot of initialization stuff.
