Question

I have a linux server on which several at jobs are scheduled.
When I do atq, I see the usernames that have scheduled jobs and the time at which those jobs have been scheduled to run. However, I don’t see what the job actually is (what script/params are being run?)

Is there a way for me to look up what is actually scheduled to run at the scheduled time, without having to wait until that time and running a ps aux | grep username? Ideally, I’d like to look this up without logging

Answer 1

Runing atq will give you something like this.

$ atq
job 1072250520.a at Wed Dec 24 00:22:00 2003

here 1072250520.a is the job id. run at -c with this job id

at -c 1072250520.a

In my Ubuntu 12.10, at -c 1 (job id 1) gives me all the environment variables first then at the last my command.
