NAME

       at.allow, at.deny - determine who can submit jobs via at or batch

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny files determine which user can submit commands for later execution via
       at(1) or batch(1).

       The format of the files is a list of usernames, one on each line.  Whitespace is not permitted.

       If the file /etc/at.allow exists, only usernames mentioned in it are allowed to use at.

       If  /etc/at.allow  does  not  exist,  /etc/at.deny is checked, every username not mentioned in it is then
       allowed to use at.

       An empty /etc/at.deny means that every user may use at.

       If neither exists, only the superuser is allowed to use at.
