[Bug 1464051] Re: at does not respect the [.ss] portion of the -t option
I discussed this further with Utkarsh. Since there isn't currently a high impact use case and we have so few people affected since 2015, I'm going to reject this SRU on the basis that it doesn't meet the bar for risking regression and download/install bandwidth/time for existing users. On this basis, I'm marking the SRU tasks Won't Fix. Hirsute is fixed, and so the next LTS will also have this fixed. This decision can be revisited if a high impact use case is put forward, and affected users volunteer to do the necessary QA. ** Changed in: at (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: at (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464051 Title: at does not respect the [.ss] portion of the -t option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at/+bug/1464051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1464051] Re: at does not respect the [.ss] portion of the -t option
Hi Robie, Using at with `-t` is well-defined and used. From the manpage of at from focal: -t time run the job at time, given in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] But that doesn't work w/o this patch, that is, [.ss] is never respected. If I were to schedule a one-time job where I need the sub-minute precision, I could never get that done even though "at" says (and documents) that it's indeed possible. With this patch (and SRU), that [.ss] is respected and "at" works again as documented. Let me know if you need more details.

Please could you clarify the use case that requires sub-minute precision?

I can also confirm this behavior $ at -t 202012140849.27 warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh at> date > /tmp/testme at> job 2 at Mon Dec 14 08:49:00 2020 $ cat /tmp/testme Mo 14. Dez 08:49:00 CET 2020 So it announces AND executes ignoring the seconds. That code is in since 3.1.11 by upstream which was the time that -t was added. Seconds are only used in "-t option" -> "posixtime" -> "posixtime_time_parse" which is called before seconds are dropped intentionally. This isn't a regression it always was a missing detail from upstream that never worked. Note: this is the same as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792040 Adding that as tracker. The change got now implemented by upstream in: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/at/-/commit/15ee22de9dfd67d9c97404302623a9d45ce887a2 This was meant to be in 3.1.24, but that got never released. It got into 3.2.0 which is a bigger step and not yet packaged/uploaded for Debian/Ubuntu (there is 3.2.1 already). I'll subscribe paride who was recently merging "at" to consider getting this updated. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #792040 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792040 ** Also affects: at (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792040 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: at (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464051 Title: at does not respect the [.ss] portion of the -t option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at/+bug/1464051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
