Description Tobias Burnus 2003-08-14 00:19:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

The SUSv3 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2003) requires that

"-r Remove the jobs with the specified at_job_id operands that were previously
scheduled by the at utility."
is supported.

Since the LSB claims that -d and -r are equivalent, adding -r support should be
easy: Treat it like -d and add it to the help and manpage.

Patch  at-3.1.8

This patch add -r, updates the manpage and adds the line from SuSv3 to the man
page:
   at -r at_job_id ...

Even better than my patch is this version:
   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/at/
it also supports "-t timespec" and "at -l -q queue" which is also required by
POSIX/SUSv3.
Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2005-06-03 18:33:46 UTC 
Sorry for the delay in getting around to this bug - it slipped
through the cracks somehow.

at already supports the ( -l -q queue ) and ( -t <timespec> )
arguments. 

Now modified to make '-r' a synonym for '-d' as required by the 
specification in Rawhide ( at-3.1.8-78 ) .
