       -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.
