I have no /etc/at.allow file but I have an /etc/at.deny file which looks like this:

alias
backup
bin
daemon
ftp
games
gnats
guest
irc
lp
mail
man
nobody
operator
proxy
qmaild
qmaill
qmailp
qmailq
qmailr
qmails
sync
sys

I want to allow the user cpender to be able to use at. How do I do this? cpender already has root permissions set up via visudo so thats no problem.

Also I was wondering if its possible to call a web page using the "at" command. what I have is:

sudo at now + 1 minute -f /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/goodbye.cgi

which calls another web page which removes the person from accessing the web but instead of actually running displying the web page, it just runs behind the scenes. In my /var/spool/mail/root file the source code is all there. The command works but it doesn't display the page.

Basically I am asking how to forward to the page after a given time.


Thanks guys


Carl

Have you tried creating a /etc/at.allow and just typing cpender in there?
