Bug Description
Wieliczka 18 November 2007
I do us UBUNTU 7.04 feisty, I tried to execute file using <at command> without success.
I input “ at -f /usr/games/glchess 15:47 “ eg. , and received confirmation from shell to be executed but nothing happened afterwords.
Even “atq” did not show anything. There were no jobs.
To post a comment you must log in.
I'm also having issues with using the at command. I have done the following:
at -f $(which epiphany-browser) now + 1 min (have the epiphany browser launched in one min time).
at -f /usr/games/glchess 15:47 (same as the original bug submitter)
running atq immediately after issuing the job will show it in the atq, but after the time assignment it will be removed from the queue.
only /etc/at.deny exist, my user is not one of those listed.
also, at mentions:
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
based on this I have manually run the glchess program appended to /bin/sh and get the following:
christer@macbook:~$ /bin/sh /usr/games/glchess
/usr/games/glchess: 4: try:: not found
/usr/games/glchess: 5: import: not found
/usr/games/glchess: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
