---------------------------------------- the at command November 21st, 2018 ---------------------------------------- I am going to be unavailable during my anonradio show tomorrow night, and I wanted to queue up my show stream in my absence. I knew that I could set up all the files I needed on a server somewhere (in this case, tilde.team) and cron job the stream, but it bothered me that I'd be setting up a reoccurring task for something that should be a one-shot. *nix is old enough that this couldn't be a new problem, so I searched around for a proper solution. Enter 'at'. It's exactly what I needed. Run a script AT a certain time. Just once. Tada! $ man at This reveals a lot of info, but it's pretty poorly documented, at least by my new openbsd documentation standards. It took some trial and error and searching through examples before I settled on something that appears like it should work. We'll see tomorrow night, I suppose! One final note: at runs its script as you from your current directory using your current environment. Basically, whatever your shell looked like at the moment you defined the 'at' command, that's how it'll execute. This is a huge convenience for these one-shots. If everything goes off well tomorrow night, I expect I'll be using this more often, maybe even to do simple things like cue up my outro-music for my show!
