RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Tonhofer 2011-09-20 10:02:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

When "at" runs and emits e-mail, the subject of said email is invariable "Output from your job <PID>".

In an age of multiple machines, this is unhelpful.

An option "-h: Include hostname in subject line" can make the subject more informative:

"Output from your job <PID> on machine.somewhere.org".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

at-3.1.10-43.el6.x86_64
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-09-20 10:28:31 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 3 David Tonhofer 2011-10-24 16:04:16 UTC 
I actually logged this already as bug#606741 ...

606741 is more general in that the idea was to have an arbitrary subject string.

Suggesting to close this as duplicate of 606741
Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-10-25 06:27:30 UTC 
I'd rather close bug for RHEL-5 (bug#606741), because fix in RHEL-6 is more plausible.
Comment 6 Suzanne Logcher 2012-01-31 21:16:58 UTC

Comment 8 Tomas Mraz 2017-08-24 10:03:30 UTC 
Moving this RFE to RHEL-7.
Comment 10 Tomas Mraz 2017-08-24 10:14:43 UTC 
Actually this is already implemented via -n option to atd however it is undocumented in the man page.
