 |
|
I am trying to configure at. both myself (only user) and root belong to the group at, and are in at.allow
First I do (and see):
| Code: | miverna ~ # date
Thu Jun 2 21:35:48 PDT 2005
miverna ~ # at 2137
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> date > test.txt
at> <EOT>
job 9 at 2005-06-02 21:37
Warning: at daemon not running |
so I check atd:
| Code: | miverna ~ # /etc/init.d/atd status
* status: started |
Portage says it's installed too:
| Code: | miverna ~ # emerge at -p
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-process/at-3.1.8-r11
|
Any hints as to why it's not working? after search, I figued out at.allow & at group membership, but still no joy running it
also, dunno if a seperate problem, but when I try to delete old job I see:
| Code: | miverna ~ # atq
4 2005-06-02 07:30 a root
4 2005-06-02 21:15 a root
6 2005-06-02 22:27 a root
8 2005-06-02 22:31 a root
1 2005-06-02 16:25 a root
3 2005-06-02 21:11 a root
3 2005-06-01 22:58 a root
5 2005-06-02 22:24 a root
7 2005-06-02 22:29 a root
9 2005-06-02 21:37 a root
2 2005-06-02 21:11 a root
2 2005-06-01 22:57 a root
miverna ~ # atrm 1
Cannot unlink a00001011c427d: Permission denied
miverna ~ # |
root doesn't have permission 
TIA,

| It's possible the at daemon crashed or got killed somehow. It would still show as "started" according to "/etc/init.d/atd status" Try "ps aux | grep atd" If you don't see "/usr/sbin/atd" from that you need to run "/etc/init.d/atd zap" and "/etc/init.d/atd start" |

still no joy. tried removing job 1 with atrm, gave error as in orginal post.
ps (after zap & start) did not show at. I re-emerged at also, after orinal post, just in case

I just emerged and it works straight off. Have you tried getting rid of /etc/at/at.allow? You don't need it.
'ps -ef |grep at' gives
