"at -c n" will list the commands to be run for job n.

The filenames in /var/at/jobs are of the format "qnnnnntttttttt", where
q is the queue, n is the job number in hex, and t is the time the job
is scheduled in hex (in minutes from the Epoch, so multiply by 60 to
get the more-standard seconds from Epoch).  For more info, see at at
manpage and /usr/src/usr.bin/at/at.c .
