The program would be awakening a checking for "list of worK". If it meets the programs criteria, it will run a method against it and move it to the next level of processing which it is not responsible for. So having it run more frequently ensures that the user does not have to wait at least 5 minutes, because the program executes quicly when it does run.

atd

ATD(8)							      System Manager's Manual							    ATD(8)

NAME

       atd - run jobs queued for later execution

SYNOPSIS

       atd [-l load_avg] [-b batch_interval] [-d] [-f] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       atd runs jobs queued by at(1).

OPTIONS

       -l      Specifies  a  limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of 1.5.	For an SMP
	       system with n CPUs, you will probably want to set this higher than n-1.

       -b      Specify the minimum interval in seconds between the start of two batch jobs (60 default).

       -d      Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3).  This option also implies -f.

       -f      Run atd in the foreground.

       -s      Process the at/batch queue only once.  This is primarily of use for compatibility with old versions of at; atd -s is equivalent	to
	       the old atrun command.  A script invoking atd -s is installed as /usr/sbin/atrun for backward compatibility.

WARNING

       atd won't work if its spool directory is mounted via NFS even if no_root_squash is set.

FILES

       /var/spool/cron/atjobs The directory for storing jobs; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.

       /var/spool/cron/atspool The directory for storing output; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.

       /etc/at.allow, /etc/at.deny determine who can use the at system.

SEE ALSO

       at(1), atrun(1), cron(8), crontab(1), syslog(3), at.deny(5), at.allow(5).

BUGS

       The functionality of atd should be merged into cron(8).
