Well. But they are standard. satd does not use the
PID file to determine whether it is running, it uses
flock.

Yes, please let's stop writing process management code i
If you are paranoid about sat crashing and
not get your jobs executed, it is possible
to start sat under service supervision,
as long as you can have user-private services.

Wouldn't you need a service supervisor with
at's functionallity? Are there any?
If you want to do things really simply you can use
sleep-until (https://github.com/maandree/sleep-until),
but then you cannot as easily list jobs and run
the before scheduled.

Why not use a service supervisor?
Hi!
I'm written an alternative to at, called sat (for simple
at): https://github.com/maandree/sat sat is incompatible
with at, but I have tried to make sure that a
compatibility-layer can be written.
sat is basically at without a lot of features that does not
need to be there. sat is also written
