I'm having a problem with the Linux (unix) at command. I have a
program/script that needs to run another program/script within seconds.
Unfortunately the at command only accepts minutes as input. Therefore,
echo runme | at now
scheduling a command within a minute (i.e. adding 1 minute to the
current time), can cause the command to run within 1 to 60 seconds.
(Add 1 minute to a time such as 11:43:59 will cause it to run at
11:44:00, one second later.) I don't quite understand why unix has this
limitation.
Is there something else I should be considering?
