AT(1) General Commands Manual AT(1)

NAME
at, batch, atq, atrm - queue, examine or delete jobs for later execution

SYNOPSIS
at [-V] [-q queue] [-f file] [-mMlv] timespec...
at [-V] [-q queue] [-f file] [-mMkv] [-t time]
at -c job [job...]
atq [-V] [-q queue]
at [-rd] job [job...]
atrm [-V] job [job...]
batch
at -b

DESCRIPTION
at and batch read commands from standard input or a specified file which are to be executed at
a later
time, using /bin/sh.

at executes commands at a specified time.

atq lists the user's pending jobs, unless the user is the superuser; in that case, everybody's
jobs are listed. The format of the output lines (one for each job) is: Job number, date,
hour, queue, and username.

atrm deletes jobs, identified by their job number.

batch executes commands when system load levels permit; in other words, when the load
average drops
below 1.5, or the value specified in the invocation of atd.

At allows fairly complex time specifications, extending the POSIX.2 standard. It accepts times
of the
form HH:MM to run a job at a specific time of day. (If that time is already past, the next day
is
assumed.) You may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and you can have a time-
of-day suf
fixed with AM or PM for running in the morning or the evening. You can also say what day the
job will
be run, by giving a date in the form month-name day with an optional year, or giving a date
of the
form MMDD[CC]YY, MM/DD/[CC]YY, DD.MM.[CC]YY or [CC]YY-MM-DD. The
specification of a date must follow

CRON(8) System Manager's Manual CRON(8)

NAME
cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)

SYNOPSIS
cron [-f] [-l] [-L loglevel]

DESCRIPTION
cron is started automatically from /etc/init.d on entering multi-user runlevels.

OPTIONS
-f Stay in foreground mode, don't daemonize.

-l Enable LSB compliant names for /etc/cron.d files. This setting, however, does not affect
the
parsing of files under /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly or
/etc/cron.monthly.

-n Include the FQDN in the subject when sending mails. By default, cron will abbreviate the
host
name.

-L loglevel
Tell cron what to log about jobs (errors are logged regardless of this value) as the sum of
the following values:

1 will log the start of all cron jobs

2 will log the end of all cron jobs

4 will log all failed jobs (exit status != 0)

8 will log the process number of all cron jobs

The default is to log the start of all jobs (1). Logging will be disabled if levels is set to
zero (0). A value of fifteen (15) will select all options.

GZIP(1) General Commands Manual GZIP(1)

NAME
gzip, gunzip, zcat - compress or expand files

SYNOPSIS
gzip [ -acdfhklLnNrtvV19 ] [--rsyncable] [-S suffix] [ name ... ]
gunzip [ -acfhklLnNrtvV ] [-S suffix] [ name ... ]
zcat [ -fhLV ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77). Whenever possible,
each file
is replaced by one with the extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and
modifi
cation times. (The default extension is -gz for VMS, z for MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, Windows
NT FAT and
Atari.) If no files are specified, or if a file name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the
standard output. Gzip will only attempt to compress regular files. In particular, it will ignore
symbolic links.

If the compressed file name is too long for its file system, gzip truncates it. Gzip attempts to
truncate only the parts of the file name longer than 3 characters. (A part is delimited by dots.)
If
the name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated. For example, if file names
are
limited to 14 characters, gzip.msdos.exe is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz. Names are not
truncated on
systems which do not have a limit on file name length.

By default, gzip keeps the original file name and timestamp in the compressed file. These are
used
when decompressing the file with the -N option. This is useful when the compressed file name
was trun
cated or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file transfer.

Compressed files can be restored to their original form using gzip -d or gunzip or zcat. If the
orig
inal name saved in the compressed file is not suitable for its file system, a new name is
constructed
from the original one to make it legal.

gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each file whose name ends with
.gz, -gz,
.z, -z, or _z (ignoring case) and which begins with the correct magic number with an
uncompressed file
without the original extension. gunzip also recognizes the special extensions .tgz and .taz as
short
hands for .tar.gz and .tar.Z respectively. When compressing, gzip uses the .tgz extension if

bzip2(1) General Commands Manual bzip2(1)

NAME
bzip2, bunzip2 - a block-sorting file compressor, v1.0.6
bzcat - decompresses files to stdout
bzip2recover - recovers data from damaged bzip2 files

SYNOPSIS
bzip2 [ -cdfkqstvzVL123456789 ] [ filenames ... ]
bzip2 [ -h|--help ]
bunzip2 [ -fkvsVL ] [ filenames ... ]
bunzip2 [ -h|--help ]
bzcat [ -s ] [ filenames ... ]
bzcat [ -h|--help ]
bzip2recover filename

DESCRIPTION
bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm,
and Huffman
coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
conventional
LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
statistical compres
sors.

The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of GNU gzip, but they are not
identi
cal.

bzip2 expects a list of file names to accompany the command-line flags. Each file is replaced
by a
compressed version of itself, with the name "original_name.bz2". Each compressed file has
the same
modification date, permissions, and, when possible, ownership as the corresponding original,
so that
these properties can be correctly restored at decompression time. File name handling is naive
in the
sense that there is no mechanism for preserving original file names, permissions, ownerships
or dates
in filesystems which lack these concepts, or have serious file name length restrictions, such as
MS-
DOS.

bzip2 and bunzip2 will by default not overwrite existing files. If you want this to happen,
specify
the -f flag.
