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  will
		be 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 you respond with a y, the job will be removed.
