Is it, as it appears, a way of specifying "flags" for multiple "at" queues? a.4j1n <- apparently the definition for the "at" queue b.2j2n90w <- and for the "batch" (really, "at -b") queue If I don't need a sVr2 source license to get the answers, I'd like to know: (1) Are the lines in queuedefs actually the flags for the "a" and "b" queues? (2) If (1), what do the flags mean, and what other flags are there? (3) Can I create my own queues, using the flags from (2)? How do I specify an arbitrary queue to "at"? Needless to say, I have neither source nor a license thereto. If answering my questions would violate a license agreement, please let me know. (If I have managed to violate a license aggreement with this posting, that goes double! The only license aggreement I've seen is that from Plexus, which REFERS to the AT&T license that is not provided with Plexus's SysV.)
