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  0.8.   This
               number  is  multiplied  by the amount of CPUs when comparing to
               /proc/loadavg, because loadavg is a sum over all processors  on
               Linux.

       -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.

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

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

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

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

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

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