hi everyone,
for the ones who don't knwo "at" it's something like cron which executes a job at a certain time.
well cron is more for automating jobs, at is more for one timer job, e.g you want to echo on your tty1 "hey it's time for beer" at 18:00
i can do that:
Code:
at 18:00
at> echo "hey it's time for beer" 1> /dev/tty1
what i cannot do is to launch a program in the specified tty, i got help before but it works partialy:
Code:
at 18:00
at> export TERM=linux
at> pico 1> /dev/tty1
this code pops up pico on tty1 at 18:00 but it just displays it and it is not useable, try it yourself you will know what i mean.
QUESTION:
any suggestions how to launch a program in a useable way?
thanks in advance
