The at command

• The at command schedules a command to be run once at a particular time
• The at command can be a simple reminder or a complex script
• Start by running the at command and passing it the scheduled time as the option:
• $ at now + 2 minutes
• It then places you at a special prompt, where you can type in the command to be run
• at> echo “Test” > attest.txt
• When you're done, press Control-D on a new line, and your command will be placed in the queue
