No, I used at in the same way as I did before under sarge. My favourite way to execute the at command is something like this: for host in <list>; do ssh -l root $host 'echo "shutdown -r +5" | at 16:43'; done This works on sarge, but fails on etch. I can see that the job starts running, because the output of atq changes from "1 Sun Apr 15 16:43:00 2007 a root" to "1 Sun Apr 15 16:43:00 2007 = root", but the job is not completed and stays in the queue.
