I don't understand what you mean by "be aware of any bash function defined in the bash shell". Do you mean that there are bash functions defined in your environment, and you want the at-jobs to be able to call them?</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I just did a quick test with sh functions and they do not end up in the atjob. I'd already discarded my bash mods, so cannot test whether they are passed in the bash environment - you can test that yourself :-) If the functions are not passed to atd, there are several ways around it that do not involve rewriting at/atd, but first tell us if that is in fact what you want. And if it is, do you need your atjobs to have ad hoc access to any functions that happen to be defined by any user that happens to create them, or do you need your atjobs to have access to a particular set of functions?</blockquote><div> </div><div>The latter.
