Question

We cannot find out the name of the program scheduled using at command.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question during an interview for a job.

This is a very interesting question from Process Management topic in chapter The Process of Unix

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Unfortunately, the major drawback in at command is that we cannot find out the name of the program scheduled to be executed. This may create a problem when we are unable to recall whether a specific job has actually been scheduled for later execution.
