Thanks for the quick responses. I knew there had to be a way!
Thanks to Andy Cranston, Eef Hartman, David Antoch, Dan Johnson, Steve Illgen, Matthew Shaw. And any others whose email responses may stuck in transit along with all the spam. ;-)
Can be done several ways and were as follows
The easiest was to Create a script file with the command you want to run and use that with the 'at' command
echo "<script name> <param 1> <param 2> <param 3>" > <at script file>
at now < <at script file>
echo "/usr/local/bin/catchout testrun whittemo /usr/local/informix/db_oper/backup_restart" > bu_restart.sh
at now | bu_restart.sh
Works like a champ and is in keeping with the KISS! (Keep it Stupid, Simple!) philosophy. ;-)
Thanks again

Subject: [HPADM] Using the 'at' command
I want to run a script that requires three input parameters using 'at(1)'
I have tried:
at -f <script name> <param1> <param2> <param3> now
and
at now < <script name> <param1> <param2> <param3>
and both give me a "bad time specification" error.
It works fine in cron but I want to be able to have a user run it as needed.
cron entry looks like
00 18 * * 0 <script> <param1> <param2> <param3>
What I would like to know, after all that, is how do I get 'at' to work with scripts that require input parameters?
Thanks
