Hi, when doing an at job, aren't you supposed to receive an email confirmation after it's run? I am not...

[root@furio chkrootkit-0.39a]# at -f  ./chkrootkit  now  + 2 minutes
--wait a few minutes--
[root@furio chkrootkit-0.39a]# mail
No mail for root

The job gets submitted (I've checked it with the atq command), however various at jobs I try (only have tried with root so far) don't send me a confirmation email.

have you tried the -m flag?

[root@furio chkrootkit-0.39a]# at -f ./chkrootkit -m root now + 2 minutes
parse error. Last token seen: r
Garbled time

Something wrong with my syntax?

hello,
make sure the file is executeable - i tried it w/o any issues using the first command.

I'm positive it's executable. Maybe I got to use the absolute path rather than the relative?

**Edit: Using the absolute path name didn't send root a confirmation email either.
