It is used to queue jobs to be executed later, outside + the current controlling terminal. + + sat can also print and edit the list of queued jobs. + +RATIONALE + at(1) is far too complex. + + sat does not do natural language time parsing, it is far too complex, + and locale dependent, for all programs to implemeent and should be + done in a separate program. + + sat does not sanitise the environment. You have env(1) for that. + Relaying on sat to sanitise the environment appropriately could prove + to be a misfortune. + + sat does not do mailing because that is very restrictive, hooks are + used instead. + +ENVIRONMENY + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR + This environment variable names the directory in which + interprocess communication related files are stored. If + unset or empty, /run is used. + +SEE ALSO + at(1), cron(1), sleep-until(1) + |
