‘batch’ broken in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)
- 0 Comments
Give it a try and let me know if you agree… Quick test:
$ batch now
> ls
[control-d]
job 1 at Wed May 14 14:02:27 2008
$ atq

$ batch 17:00
> ls
[control-d]
job 5 at Wed May 14 17:00:00 2008
$ atq

Update: 10.5.3
This doesn’t seem to happen anymore in 10.5.3, but it doesn’t quite seem to work either:
$ at 3:00
> touch /TEST.TEST
job 10 at Sun Jun 1 03:00:00 2008
This was ran at 2:59:30(or so) and as of 3:45:
$ atq
10 Sun Jun 1 03:00:00 2008
Yet, the command did not execute.
