Package: at Version: 3.2.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
According to the man page, "If you specify a job to absolutely run at a specific time and date in the past, the job will run as soon as possible. For example, if it is 8pm and you do a `at 6pm today`, it will run more likely at 8:05pm." However, when one attempts to do this in practice, the command fails with an error "refusing to create job destined in the past": ``` $ date; echo echo test | at '13:00 today' Thu 6 Jan 13:49:42 GMT 2022 at: refusing to create job destined in the past ``` I had expected the above commands to successfully create a job, run the command "echo test" immediately, then immediately email me the output (i.e. an email that just contains the word "test"). -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-10-cloud-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages at depends on: ii libc6 2.33-1 ii libpam-runtime 1.4.0-9+deb11u1 ii libpam0g 1.4.0-9+deb11u1 ii libselinux1 3.1-3 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 Versions of packages at recommends: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.94.2-7 at suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/at.deny [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/at.deny' -- no debconf information
