[opensuse] at and openSUSE Leap 15.0
I have some folks who use the "at" command to schedule compute intensive jobs after normal working hours. It works fine on the Leap 42.2 and 42.3 systems here, but I have not found an RPM for at under Leap 15.0. Has at been dropped or its functionality been picked up by another package?

The at functionality should be provided by the 'at' package, which certainly seems to be available in the Leap 15.0 repos I'm looking at.. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss/x86_64/at-3.1.2... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Richard, Thanks! That did the trick. I really do not know why I could not see the RPM either through YaST2 or by going directly to download.opensuse.org, but I could not. Anyway, the problem is resolved. Thanks again!

Next time, try the command "cnf at" and hopefully it will tell the package. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE, Leap 15.0 x86_64 (ssd-test)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Interesting. But it is not available for leap 15.0 on default repos: cer@linux-ssd:~> zypper se zypper-search-packages-plugin Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No matching items found. cer@linux-ssd:~> Are you using TW perhaps, or some extra repo? If that search package can find not yet installed files in available repos it will be a much wanted tool.

The problem was not that "at" wasn't in my path. The problem was that "at" (and its associated "atd") was not installed. When I searched for the package in yast2, I did not find it. I thought that was odd, but I followed the link supplied by Richard and was easily able to install "at" and "atd". No, I have no idea why it was not found before...

This is exactly what 'cnf' (acronym of command not found) is intended for. You know the name of a command, but not how to install it. It will look in available packages and tell you which package contains that program. woodstock:~% cnf at Program 'at' is present in package 'at', which is installed on your system.

Maybe you overlooked it - often happens to me. I use zypper for almost anything, but a general 'zypper search at' finds 4423 matches. In this case a "zypper search -x at" is more useful. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
