You can check the error before submitting with: $ sh -nv myatjobfile Adriaan If there is a file yes, but if the job is created interactively, there will be no file except the one in atjobs dir until the time it executes. Thanks.

True. I'm not aware of anything that helps, short of restoring /var/cron/atjobs from backup. Joachim I think I will try a cron job to backup the atjobs dir. Thanks.
