   Yeah, never rebooted where you live.
Does at survive a reboot?
Of course.

Out with it, what at(1) command do they use at GNU?

   Constructive me says: Debian's at(1) is so bad, one can't even do
   $ at next year
   parse error. Last token seen: year
   Garbled time
   $ at now + 12 months #Sigh. Must use instead.

   No wonder. Not genuine GNU parts.  Say, Stallman to the rescue. What
   do those cool GNU people use? Don't tell me they don't use at(1)?

Dunno about rms, nor do I know if I'm cool.  But I just use sleep;
usually something like

nohup sh -c "(sleep 100h; move-my-toes)" &

if I need to run something at some specific time; which isn't to often
anyway...

Happy hacking.

It is not only bad. It has a fame of being sort of a security bomb
(currently the fuse is believed to be unlit, but we never know if there
isn't a hidden one lit in there somewhere).

Wether GNU's is any better, I have no idea.
