Question on at and atq commands

[Michael Shaw]

John,

   I had exactly this same challenge while working in and HP/UX environment.
My memory fails me now but I think I captured the output of 'ar -l' (which
contained the actual command line scheduled) in a Korn shell array and then
used the output of the 'at -q' command to index into that array to identify
that command.  It was something like that anyway.  Hope this gives you
something to play with.

job (command) that is to be run.
