Installation of at
Before building at, as the
root
user you should create the
group and user atd
which will run
the atd daemon. Also
ensure the working directory for the daemon exists:
groupadd -g 17 atd &&
useradd -d /dev/null -c "atd daemon" -g atd -s /bin/false -u 17 atd &&
mkdir -p /var/spool/cron
Fix Makefile.in
so that the
documentation directory is installed in the specified docdir:
sed -i '/docdir/s/=.*/= @docdir@/' Makefile.in
Regenerate the build files to be consistent with this package
version:
autoreconf
Install at with the following
commands:
./configure --with-daemon_username=atd \
--with-daemon_groupname=atd \
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail &&
make -j1
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install \
docdir=/usr/share/doc/at-3.1.20 \
atdocdir=/usr/share/doc/at-3.1.20
