I al already this far. /var/at/at.deny exists and is empty. If I
remote it, ‚at‘ rejects me outright and tells me that I am not allowed
to use it. If it exists, I can place new jobs (hence, access to ‚at‘
works), but my jobs don’t get executed because of this… bug.
I am using cron as well, but for different purposes. For some one-off
things such as ‚do remove this file in two months‘, ‚at‘ is just the
right tool.
