Package: at
Version: 3.1.9
when launching atd it's preferable to clean the environment -- in
particular things like SSH* env vars or even LOGNAME can leak into the
environment of the daemon. i've seen this cause problems such as atd
sending mail as 'dean' rather than 'root' when i restart it.
note this affects only atd's environment... the environment of jobs is
handled by atd itself.
patch below.
-dean
p.s. i had to fix the --pidvfile restart bug ... not sure if i fixed it
the same way you did or not.
