+.SH NAME
+at \- execute commands at a later time
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B at
+time
+[
+day
+]
+[
+file
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I At
+squirrels away a copy of the named
+.I file
+(standard input default)
+to be used as input to
+.IR sh (1)
+at a specified later time.
+A
+.IR cd (1)
+command to the current directory is inserted
+at the beginning,
+followed by assignments to all environment variables.
+When the script is run, it uses the user and group ID
+of the creator of the copy file.
+.PP
+The
+.I time
+is 1 to 4 digits, with an optional following
+`A', `P', `N' or `M' for
+AM, PM, noon or midnight.
+One and two digit numbers are taken to be hours, three and four digits
+to be hours and minutes.
+If no letters follow the digits, a 24 hour clock time is understood.
+.PP
+The optional
+.I day
+is either
+(1) a month name followed by a day number,
+or
+(2) a day of the week; if the word `week' follows
+invocation is moved seven days further off.
+Names of months and days may be recognizably truncated.
+Examples of legitimate commands are
+.IP
+at 8am jan 24
+.br
+at 1530 fr week
+.PP
+.I At
+programs are executed by periodic execution
+of the command
+.I /usr/lib/atrun
+from
+.IR cron (1m).
+The granularity of
+.I at
+depends upon how often
+.I atrun
+is executed.
+.PP
+Standard output or error output is lost unless redirected.
+.SH FILES
+/usr/spool/at/yy.ddd.hhhh.uu
+.br

+are due
+.br
+pwd(1)
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+calendar(1),
+cron(1m)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+Complains about various syntax errors and times out of range.
+.SH BUGS
+Due to the granularity of the execution of
+.I /usr/lib/atrun,
+there may be bugs in scheduling things almost
+exactly 24 hours into the future.
