I probably should confess that I normally work on a Linux box, and telnet into my FreeBSD machine. When I made the comment about what FreeBSD's touch requires, I was reading the man page in the wrong window, so I got the Linux man page by mistake. Sorry. However, I'm still wondering about this. Given that atrun only gets called every five minutes, what's the point of trying to support seconds? On the other hand, the current version of at doesn't allow for a year specification either, so I'll still have to work that in. I'm trying to get a better understanding of how that all works, but I'd appreciate opinions about whether I need to work seconds into the mix somehow.
