Using AT to see into a scheduled job - how?


I've got several AT jobs scheduled for execution and need to delete one that I no longer need. Is it possible to list the commands that an AT job will execute?

I've done some googling but so far haven't stumbled upon the answer but i'm still in the reading process. I'll be checking here periodically as it is bound to shorten my search!

Cheers,
tkb.

***Solved***

Never mind.

At the bottom of the AT(1) man page, I saw a reference to "/var/spool/at" and after looking in this folder, I saw 2 files:
one with a randomly (or so it appears) named file starting with an "a"
one named .SEQ.

Looking into the `a.*' file I saw reference to my commands near the bottom of the file listing.

Hope this helps another soul out there!

Cheers,
tkb.
