I’m trying to run something like : echo “/etc/init.d/postfix restart” | /usr/bin/at now + 5 minutes : in a startup script.
It is adding the entry to /var/spool/atjobs but never actually processing the file even thought atd is started up at boot.
The exact same thing works from the command line.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt

Odd, this is; have you tried comparing the atjobs files to see if/how they
differ when created the different ways? I presume the successful job was
created as ‘root’ as well. Also, does restarting atd show anything
interesting? Any errors in log files (/var/log/*)?

Hardware clock was set 10 hours in the future, and during startup everything was being done in the future… 
Fixed this and this seems to have addressed the issue.
Great to hear; thanks for posting back your results.
