AFAICT from at(1), the code is still mostly T-Rex's implementation. You may want to have a look at https://launchpad.net/~at-ng for a reimplementation from scratch, The client side is mostly done (still using directories and signals for communication with atd) It doesn't build on openBSD though for reasons that will go away when switching to a C/S approach RSN. The server (atd) side will be working soon with communications using Unix domain sockets.
