power management?
Looks pretty nifty. However, the man page says the command has been "disabled due to power management concerns". Anybody know exactly what those concerns are? Is this going to prevent idle sleep?
power management?
I think that the concern is that the "at" commands will not execute if the computer is asleep or off. I have not tested this, though.
power management?
I think the concern is that atrun, which actually runs the at jobs, will hit the hard drive every so often (defaulting to five or ten minutes) to check for jobs. If a PowerBook user set their hard drive (but not the processor) to go to sleep after a while, it'd be spun right back up the next time at checked for jobs, regardless of whether there was a job to run or not.
power management?
atd relies on cron to run its jobs. cron doesn't cause any "power management" issues because it preloads the table into memory and reloads after updates. |
