Hi,

Good tutorial: Manage planned tasks on Linux with the command at

So the idea of the at command is to facilitate “one time command scheduling”. In this sense it is complementary to cron which usually is used to schedule periodic jobs, let’s see its most common uses.

You can get 'The Linux Command Line' in PDF to enhance your cli work;

ive had more then my fair share of "at" failures. I stick to one time cronjobs, and delete the cron as part of the cron process.

Nice find, I am reading it now.

But it is ironical that the author of this book states in the preface that he used OpenOffice to write the book. As opposed to a good CLI editor and Latex.
