For example, can you | put in your ~/.login file something like "at +15mins echo 'time to go'"...? Don't speculate about what the man pages cover, do "man at" and read them. They do. It's a lot faster than sending mail to the list and it bothers far fewer people. (If you *really* can't find it, I'll give you this much of a hint: read starting at line 40, column 70 of the man page.) | | Thanks mucho, -- Brian T.
