at

The 'at' command is used to provide automatic starting of JNOS commands scheduled at predetermined times. After scheduling a command, it is executed once then the command is deleted from the list. Note however, the command may be a source command to execute a series of commands and one of those commands may re-schedule the next occurance thus creating a repeating command.

at This form displays all scheduled at commands plus its id number.

at time <cmd> This form adds a new command into the list of scheduled commands.

• time takes the form of:

  • yymmddhhmm (specific date/time)
  • hhmm (next occurrence of this time)
  • whhmm (next occurrence of this time on
  • specified weekday. 0=Sun,1=Mon, ..., 6=Sat)
  • mm (mm mins after next hour)
  • now+hhmm (offset from present time)

• <cmd> is any legal JNOS command. Commands are enclosed in double quotes (" "), but the quotes may be optionally removed when the command is a single word. Examples are:

  at 0130 "! cleanup+"
  at now+0100 "ax25 flush+"
  at 0600 "writeall \"Il est 6h00 GMT\"+"
  at "! /c x.bat>> e:foo" 

at kill <id_num> [<id_num>...] This form of the 'at' command kills (i.e., deletes) scheduled commands with the <id_num>. Use the simple form of the command (above) to see the list of all pending commands.
