    How to use AT command in c-shell red hat linux through a script

    Hey....
    I am in newbie to this forum....
    I am trying to execute the AT command in cshell.... but it doesn't work.... can anyone help me....
    i really appreciate the help.

    #! /bin/csh -f

    at 10:33 11/12/2011
    date >>log
    <Ctrl>D

    The above script leaves me in the 'at' command promt after executing.... please note that... i just typed the letters '<Ctrl>D'..
    i wanted to execute the date command using 'at' command..
    and finish the 'at' command by using the control signal...
    All this should be done using a script.....

    thanks for any help guys...
    i appreciate it.....

    bye

    This may be a silly question, but does it *have* to be finished by a control signal?

    Code:
    #!/bin/csh -f
    
    at $1 << eof
    date >> log
    eof
    works for me. (provide a time as a parameter to the script)

    Let us know how you get on.
    To be good, you must first be bad. "Newbie" is a rank, not a slight.

    Thanks Kakariko81280....
    It works....

    Answering your question.... i was being silly when i was trying out with control signal.... trying to find a way to make it work....
    I have used '<<' in perl print statements, but never in c-shell scripts... I actually didn't know that this functionality even existed in c-shell....

    Thanks a lot.....
