Question atq details - cron/crontab


Hello,

I'm trying to use at command to submit shell scripts.
The pb is when I issue atq or at -l I don't see the name of the script
to execute. Is it possible to see it somewhere ? Is it stored in a file ?

I used cron/crontab till now. But I have some problems with scripts
where cron ends with an error saying "cannot execute binary file".
My script are in bash and contain #!/bin/sh and a PATH and are executable.
When I type sh my_script.sh they execute allright.

Does someone have an idea on these subjects ?

Thanks for any hint
Nadine

atq gives you the id and some more

use the id with at -c as below (id is the first number of the atq resul)
at -c id
give you a huge answer about what will be executed and the environment, so look
at the last part of the answer which will be the script you type.

Regards

Tlowk

Thanks tlowk.

I read the man page but it was not clear to me that this option had this function.
They say
-c cats the jobs listed on command line to standard output
Now it's clear
