at command
 

hi!

i want to shutdown my server every 12:00pm midnight.... i know at command will do the work:) but where is at command in slackware 9.0???
thks:)

You can do this with a crontab

Do a:
crontab -e (as root)
Put this line in:
And done.

mmm actually I like at command quite a bit. it's a little easier for quick jobs than cron is but for recurring stuff you could use either really.

ex. you have a cmd file with the command you want run, or script you want run and you want it done later...

at 4pm today -f cmd

or in 3 days...

at 7pm +3 days -f command

it's quite an interesting and not very used command actually. man at for some more info. ;)

thk guys! ok i try cron but iam still wondering is there a at command in slackware 9.0 and 9.1??? just want to know:) thks

Yes there is an AT command in slackware... `man at` -- for more info
