What were you trying to do?
Use the "at" program
What's wrong:
The directory /usr/spool/at doesn't exist by default, and so the
program complains about no such file or directory, then exists
What should have happened:
It should work, or should be removed
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The crontab is setup so that it runs "atrun" every 15 minutes; it's
silly to have this entry in the crontab if the directory isn't
there. Personally, I think this line should be taken out- at is a
relic from timesharing days, and all it provides now is a easy
loophole to hack the workstation.
