There is one way, although there are some dependencies
attached to the at or
batch commands:
- This information was found in the Solaris (Unix) man
pages. There may be Linux equivalents.
- There are conditions attached to the existence and contents
two files, /usr/lib/cron/at.allow and /usr/lib/cron/at.deny.
Users are permitted to use at and batch (see below) if their
name appears in the file /usr/lib/cron/at.allow. If that
file does not exist, the file /usr/lib/cron/at.deny is
checked to determine if the user should be denied access to
at. If neither file exists, only a user with the
solaris.jobs.user authorization is allowed to submit a job.
If only at.deny exists and is empty, global usage is permit-
ted. The at.allow and at.deny files consist of one user name
per line.
One example they give is:
Example 3: Self-rescheduling a job
Of course, you could talk to the sys admin and request the
priviledge of using crontab, at or batch.
If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
