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

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

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