Package: at
Version: 3.1.20-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I use at from cronjobs (I can't use cron directly because the cronjob
calculates the time according to sunrise / sunset). I think it's silly
that at always outputs two lines to stderr and that there's no way to
prevent this; I don't need to know the job number and that the script
will be run using /bin/sh, thank you very much; I know that by now.
I've added an option -s for silent that suppresses these two output
lines. Please consider adding this to the official build.
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
