.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The functionality of
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm atrun
|
|
|
|
|
should arguaby be merged into
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr crond 8 .
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
|
|
|
Since the default configuration causes
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm atrun
|
|
|
|
|
to be invoked every ten minutes,
|
|
|
|
|
commands queued by
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr at 1
|
|
|
|
|
may end up being executed up to nine minutes
|
|
|
|
|
later than would be otherwise expected.
