any reason why this doesn seem to work



if the time now is 1430 commands im using

Code:
at 1431
at> echo "time is 1431"

then it prints out
commands will be executed using /usr/local/bin.bash
job 1242653400.a at Mon May 18 14:31:00 2009

but it never actually echoes the date

any ideas

Thanks

That's because at, like cron, run commands in the background, with no TTY connected to std{in,out,err}. All output gets collected and is mailed to the user who queued the command(s)
