Package: at Version: 3.1.10.2 On Thursday `at 23:55 Fri' will schedule the job "tomorrow" (that's okay). But on Friday `at 23:55 Fri' will schedule the job on Friday _in a week's time_ (ie. *not* "today"). IMO this is wrong, and not in line with other established implementations:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/cron/ in particular: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/cron/att1.y l. 170+ (*tp is current time, rt will be added to at) http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/at/ in particular: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/at/parsetime.c?annotate=1.17 l. 516+ FWIW, `date -d Fri' executed on Friday will choose "today". I would suggest the following change: diff -ur orig.at-3.1.12/at.c at-3.1.12/at.c diff -ur orig.at-3.1.12/parsetime.y at-3.1.12/parsetime.y --- orig.at-3.1.12/parsetime.y 2009-11-23 16:11:52.000000000 +0100 +++ at-3.1.12/parsetime.y 2010-04-07 23:32:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ | month_name day_number ',' year_number | day_of_week { - add_date ((6 + $1 - exectm.tm_wday) %7 + 1, DAY); + add_date ((7 + $1 - exectm.tm_wday) %7, DAY); } | TODAY | TOMORROW Note: I have left `NEXT day_of_week' intact, ie. executing `at next Fri' on Friday I tend to think seven days later, not this Friday (`date -d' seems to disagree, though).
