AT.ALLOW(5)                           Linux Programmer's Manual                          AT.ALLOW(5)



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  permit‐
       ted.

       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.
