attachandrun is a composite operation, and its man page does not fully
document either part of the operation it performs as that would be
redundant. The behavior you refer to use documented in the add(1) and
athdir(1) man pages. I will change the "see also" section in
attachandrun(1) to refer to athdir instead of add, since that's a bit
more direct.
