Bug ID: 235781
Summary: [patch] at(1) HH:MM fails to assume next day
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---

Fix at(1) failure to assume next day
The at(1) man page says:
The at utility allows some moderately complex time specifications. It
accepts times of the form HHMM or HH:MM to run a job at a specific time
of day. (If that time is already past, the next day is assumed.)
Due to an ancient bug, this only works if the hour is past. It fails if we are
still within the same hour but the minutes are past:
$ date
Sat Feb 16 16:56:28 CET 2019
$ echo dummy | at 15:00
Job 42 will be executed using /bin/sh
$ echo dummy | at 16:00
at: trying to travel back in time
Simple fix attached. This is applicable to all versions of FreeBSD.
