Unlike the normal packages in BLFS, you need to create a directory and untar into it: mkdir -v at-&at-version; && cd at-&at-version; && tar -xf ../at_&at-version;.tar.gz Before building at, as the root user you should create the group and user atd which will run the atd daemon. Also ensure the working directory for the daemon exists: groupadd -g 17 atd && useradd -d /dev/null -c "atd daemon" -g atd -s /bin/false -u 17 atd && mkdir -p /var/spool/cron Fix Makefile.in so that the documentation directory is installed in the specified docdir: sed -i '/docdir/s/=.*/= @docdir@/' Makefile.in Install at with the following commands: ./configure --with-daemon_username=atd \ --with-daemon_groupname=atd \ SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install \ docdir=/usr/share/doc/at-&at-version; \ atdocdir=/usr/share/doc/at-&at-version; /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny determines who can submit jobs via at or batch. /etc/at.allow /etc/at.deny Install the /etc/init.d/atd init script from the package. at make install-atd Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories at, atd, atq (symlink), atrm (symlink), atrun, and batch None /var/spool/cron/at{jobs,spool} and /usr/share/doc/at-&at-version; Short Descriptions at queues, examines or deletes jobs for later execution. at atd is the daemon that runs jobs queued for later execution. atd atq lists the user's pending jobs, or all jobs, if superuser. atq atrm deletes jobs, identified by their job number. atrm atrun runs jobs queued for later execution. atrun batch is a script that executes commands when system load levels permit. batch
