at scheduling executes job immediately

Hi all,

I am trying to schedule a one time job using at. First I do a `date` command to capture current date

Code:
[myhost]$ date
Fri Aug  8 15:53:20  # shows current date
[myhost]$ at -t 16:00 today #schedule command to run at 4pm
at> command1
at> <EOT> #after pressing Crtl D
job 6 at 2008-08-08 15:53

and the command1 run immediately.

I schedule the job to run at 4pm. But it instead runs at 3.53pm, which was the time i was scheduling it. Does anybody know why?

faxq(1) 						       mgetty+sendfax manual							   faxq(1)

NAME
faxq - display fax jobs queued by faxspool(1) SYNOPSIS
faxq [-osa] [-v] [-r] [-P<job><prio>] DESCRIPTION
Display the fax queue set up by faxspool(1). faxq looks for all the jobs queued by faxspool(1) to /var/spool/fax/outgoing/*. For each job in the queue, faxq displays some status infor- mations about it. If no options are specified, one line per queued fax job is printed, displaying the job number, sender, number of pages and target fax number. OPTIONS
-v Tells faxq to print a more verbose report for each job (multiple lines). -o Show old jobs, already sent but still in the queue directory, too. -s Show suspended jobs (stopped because of too many fatal errors during sending). You can restart those jobs with faxq -r -a Show all jobs (active, old, suspended). -r Restart suspended jobs. Every suspended job in the queue (that you have write permissions for) will be requeued. Use faxrm to delete jobs that you do not want to be sent! -P <job> <prio> Change the priority of fax job <job> to <prio>. Example: "faxq -P F000247 3". BUGS
faxq doesn't handle time scheduling yet. SEE ALSO
