!!NAME


atd - run jobs queued for later execution
!!SYNOPSIS


__atd__ [[__-l__ ''load_avg''] [[__-b__
''batch_interval''] [[__-d__] [[__-s__]
!!DESCRIPTION


__atd__ runs jobs queued by __at(1)__.
!!OPTIONS


__-l__


Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs
should not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of
1.5. For an SMP system with ''n'' CPUs, you will probably
want to set this higher than ''n-1.''


__-b__


Specifiy the minimum interval in seconds between the start
of two batch jobs (60 default).


__-d__


Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of
using __syslog(3)__.


__-s__


Process the at/batch queue only once. This is primarily of
use for compatibility with old versions of __at__; __atd
-s__ is equivalent to the old __atrun__ command. A
script invoking __atd -s__ is installed as
__/usr/sbin/atrun__ for backward
compatibility.
!!WARNING


__atd__ won't work if its spool directory is mounted via
NFS even if ''no_root_squash'' is set.
!!FILES


''/var/spool/cron/atjobs'' The directory for storing
jobs; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.


''/var/spool/cron/atspool'' The directory for storing
output; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.


''/etc/at.allow'', ''/etc/at.deny'' determine who can
use the __at__ system.
!!SEE ALSO


at(1), atrun(1), cron(8),
crontab(1), syslog(3), at.deny(5),
__at.allow(5).__
!!BUGS


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