atd
atd
The atd command is used to start the at daemon. The at daemon is a service that allows you to schedule jobs to run at a later time.
To use the atd command, you first need to create a job file. A job file is a text file that contains the commands that you want to run at a later time.
For example, to schedule a job file called myjob.txt to run at 10:00 AM tomorrow, you would use the following command:
at 10:00 tomorrow myjob.txt
