ATRUN(8)                386BSD System Manager's Manual                ATRUN(8)

NAME
     atrun - run jobs queued for later execution

SYOPSIS
     atrun

DESCRIPTION
     The atrun utility runs commands queued by at(1).  It is usually invoked
     by crond(8) every ten minutes.

FILES
     /var/at/jobs      Directory containing job files
     /var/at/spool     Directory containing output spool files
     /var/at/lockfile  Job-creation lock file.

SEE ALSO
     crond(8),  at(1)

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

CAVEATS
     Since the default configuration causes atrun to be invoked every ten
     minutes, commands queued by at(1) may end up being executed up to nine
     minutes later than would be otherwise expected.
