We have several sun's running sunos 3.5. Whenever we schedule an at job,
the correct file is created in /usr/spool/at, but whenever /usr/lib/atrun
runs, it complains that each and every at job has a "bad spooler header".
I assume atrun is making reference to the four lines at the start of the
file that look something like:
# owner: root
# jobname: maddog
# shell: sh
# notify by mail: no
Does anyone know what's going on here?
thanks,
maddog

[[ This is a known bug in atrun.c of the 3.5 distribution. The entire at
and cron system was rewritten for 4.0. See volume 7 issue 135 and volume
6 issue 225 for further explanations. Basically, the old atrun.c code was
using an undocumented feature of sscanf. That feature went away in 3.5
and atrun broke. --wnl ]]
