As you can see there is nothing about atd in /var/log/message and the job is no more in the queue.
That's intended - once job is executed, it's removed from a at queue - it contains only a list of planned tasks. And because the file is created, the at works well on your system.
But this does not solve my problem, everything I start with "batch" is sitting endlessly in the queue.
I did a similar test with the "batch" command, I hope it helps: --------------------------- vass@suse114:~> batch warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh at> echo "touch /tmp/ATDTEST" at> <EOT> job 9 at 2011-02-19 19:03 vass@suse114:~> atq 9 2011-02-19 19:03 b vass vass@suse114:~> sleep 60; ls -l /tmp/ATDTEST -rw-r--r-- 1 vass users 0 febr 18 18.53 /tmp/ATDTEST vass@suse114:~> atq 9 2011-02-19 19:03 b vass vass@suse114:~> su - Jelszó: suse114:~ # grep '\
--------------------- Again, nothing in /var/log/messages/ but as you can see the job is still there.
It is also interesting that jobs fail to start only if the time is not explicitly specified for atd, like e.g. when jobs are started with "batch" or "at now", Everything is OK with "at +1 minute" or similar.
Downgrading to at-3.1.8-1081.1.x86_64 (shipped with openSUSE 11.3) is a temporary workaround for me, that version still works well even with openSUSE 11.4 RC2.
This reminds me to bnc#668485 - Vitezslav, can you please prepare the patched at package for test and request the maintenance update? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
