I'm doing some processor-hogging, shell scripting, the front
end of which is basically a call to rsh that tells one of the machines
on our local cluster (a dozen ultrix-boxes) to do an 'at' so that
sometime late that night my un-nice stuff will get done (it involves
lots of tar'ring and compress'ing, and you wouldn't want that to
happen when _you're_ logged-in, would you?).
Anyway, while debugging this stuff, I discovered that although Ultrix V2.2
provides 'at' in its repertoire, it does not provide 'atrm' or 'atq'.
I got around the atq-absence alright, but atrm looks like it will take
some unfunny programming, along with superuser access (one can't just
wipe a file from the at-queue, owner or not.)
Okay, before I go reinventing the radial snowtire, does anyone have
a decent hack for this?
