| 40 | .Nm atrun | |
| 41 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 42 | The | |
| 43 | .Nm atrun | |
| 44 | utility runs commands queued by | |
| 45 | .Xr at 1 . | |
| 46 | It is usually invoked by | |
| 47 | .Xr crond 8 | |
| 48 | every ten minutes. | |

| 65 | .Sh BUGS | |
| 66 | The functionality of | |
| 67 | .Nm atrun | |
| 68 | should arguaby be merged into | |
| 69 | .Xr crond 8 . | |
| 70 | .Sh CAVEATS | |
| 71 | Since the default configuration causes | |
| 72 | .Nm atrun | |
| 73 | to be invoked every ten minutes, | |
| 74 | commands queued by | |
| 75 | .Xr at 1 | |
| 76 | may end up being executed up to nine minutes | |
| 77 | later than would be otherwise expected. |
