Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
Error description:
Let´s assume it is February, 12th, 10 pm and you want "at" to execute a command
4 hours from now, so at February 13th, 2 am in the morning.
If running "at now +240minutes" now, this will result in the following "atq":
19 Tue Feb 12 02:00:00 2019 a root
So it is "Feb 12" instead of "Feb 13".
Even worse, if you add another command to the "at queue" now without emptying
it first, the original command in the queue will be executed directly, because
obviously at notices now that there is some command to be executed from the
past.
This can be annoying when e.g. shutting down a remote server 4 hours after it
has been powered up with "at".
