21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 __atd__ runs jobs queued by __at(1)__.
25 !!OPTIONS
26
27
28 __-l__
29
30
31 Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs
32 should not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of
33 1.5. For an SMP system with ''n'' CPUs, you will probably
34 want to set this higher than ''n-1.''
35
36
37 __-b__
38
39
40 Specifiy the minimum interval in seconds between the start
41 of two batch jobs (60 default).
42
43
44 __-d__
45
46
47 Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of
48 using __syslog(3)__.
49
50
51 __-s__
52
53
54 Process the at/batch queue only once. This is primarily of
55 use for compatibility with old versions of __at__; __atd
56 -s__ is equivalent to the old __atrun__ command. A
57 script invoking __atd -s__ is installed as
58 __/usr/sbin/atrun__ for backward
59 compatibility.
60 !!WARNING
61
62
63 __atd__ won't work if its spool directory is mounted via
64 NFS even if ''no_root_squash'' is set.
65 !!FILES
66
67
68 ''/var/spool/cron/atjobs'' The directory for storing
69 jobs; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.
70
71
72 ''/var/spool/cron/atspool'' The directory for storing
73 output; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.
74
75
76 ''/etc/at.allow'', ''/etc/at.deny'' determine who can
77 use the __at__ system.

86
87 The functionality of __atd__ should be merged into
