Hello, The full history of the implementation of at available in OpenBSD is online, it has had the same 2-clause BSD license since it was imported from NetBSD 13 years ago, it mentions Thomas Koenig as a copyright holder.. so perhaps he contributed it to the BSD projects prior to joining the Linux conspiracy.. err, community. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/at/ http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/at/ Importing recent GPL contributions is not likely to happen, presumably a lot has changed over the years.. on OpenBSD for instance.. there is no "at daemon", cron(8) is used for this instead. Ironically I did find a Usenet post from 1993 fixing what appears to be this same 'f argument' bug, so who knows? http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.os.linux.misc/browse_thread/thread/ba4e6994b4d52d40/7f3c4b699e385f92 Have fun reading some history. -Brynet.
