sat can also print and edit the list of queued jobs.
+ If you are using autohaltd(8), you should set up hooks for at(1)
+ that pauses autohaltd(8) using SIGSTOP (and resume with SIGCONT)
+ when there are queued jobs. This would prevent autohaltd(8) from
+ shuting down the machine while there are queued jobs but no logins.
+ sat cannot stop autohaltd(8) by adding login entries, because
+ autohaltd(8) will only recognise them if they are in fact true
+ logins.
+
RATIONALE
at(1) is far too complex.
