Create at jobs
Dear Experts,
I would like to know how to create at jobs from scratch, i.e. files to modify, files to create etc. For example, i would like my system to be able to backup data everyday at 13:00 and restart everyday at 0600. How do i make atjobs regenerate the jobs. Am using Sco Openserver 5.0.5.
Regards,
Njoroge Joseph

atrm
atrm(1) User Commands atrm(1)
NAME
atrm - remove jobs spooled by at or batch
SYNOPSIS
atrm [-afi] [ [job #] [user]...]
DESCRIPTION
The atrm utility removes delayed-execution jobs that were created with the at(1) command, but have not yet executed. The list of these jobs
and associated job numbers can be displayed by using atq(1).
atrm removes each job-number you specify, and/or all jobs belonging to the user you specify, provided that you own the indicated jobs.
You can only remove jobs belonging to other users if you have solaris.jobs.admin privileges.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a All. Removes all unexecuted jobs that were created by the current user. If invoked by the privileged user, the entire queue is
flushed.
-f Force. All information regarding the removal of the specified jobs is suppressed.
-i Interactive. atrm asks if a job should be removed. If the response is affirmative, the job is removed.
FILES
/var/spool/cron/atjobs Spool area for at jobs
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of atrm: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
Affirmative responses are processed using the extended regular expression defined for the yesexpr keyword in the LC_MESSAGES category of
the user's locale. The locale specified in the LC_COLLATE category defines the behavior of ranges, equivalence classes, and multi-character
collating elements used in the expression defined for yesexpr. The locale specified in LC_CTYPE determines the locale for interpretation of
sequences of bytes of text data a characters, the behavior of character classes used in the expression defined for the yesexpr. See
locale(5)
