I'm wondering whether there is a race condition in the test: # use at command to schedule a job. echo "echo `date` > ${WORKDIR}/${TMPFILE}" | at now + 1 minute So the file is expected to be created 1 minute later. Then in the script: sleep 2 [...] sleep 58 if grep -Fq "UTC" $WORKDIR/$TMPFILE [...] So the script waits for 1 minute (and some other fast commands) before checking the existence of the file, which is the wait time given to "at". I can see 2 possible issues: 1. The system is a bit slow, and the job execution will take a bit more time. 2. Time inaccuracies. What are the guaranties given by the system? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
