specifying a day for at command
I want to run a job every 00:05 sunday morning. It is a script which run for a few minutes, then attempts to re-submit itself via at. at the end of the script, it has: echo /usr/local/bin/script | at 00:05 sunday this produces an error message: at:trying to travel back in time yes, cron could do it, but I would like to run it with at. on my old unix OS (SCO) I could enter at 00:05 next sunday, which would work. trying: at 00:05 + 7 days (on sunday at approx 00:10) gets queued for next Monday. is there a way to do this?

Just a guess. What about 'at 00:05 + 6 days'? I assume some sort of rounding to the next full day is making it schedule for Monday.

So: at 00:05 + 7 days should work. But you can also specify a particular date.
