Sounds like you're missing the "atrun" entry in crontab. Look at
/etc/crontab...there should be an entry something like
0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/lib/atrun
If that's not there, then both at and batch will do nothing.
at works fine for me on our DECstation 3100's. On the other hand, I just
tried batch and it doesn't seem to be doing anything (I did remember to
wait for atrun to run).
